Hungarian Core Blaster solves the lack issue. $30 for the T-handle then stack on plates.
I have the Home Made Hungarian Core Blaster. It works great. Adjustable loading to what you want.

PS: Who's Mike?
Nutrition first, then move well, then strong enough. From here people can stay put there for the long haul (plateau is eventually a PR) or specialuze in max strength, muscle, endurance, fat loss, skill, sport, etc.What most can do..
Find your "strong enough" range
If swinging heavy is accepted by your body and it excites you then go for it and proceed with safety at all times..
I do agree that working towards sinister (even solid for some) is already specialization in itself.
My rule of thumb:
>1/3 bodyweight, I use barbell cleans.
Yeah, I can 1H swing my 40 kg KB for reps, but I don't need to go that heavy if I'm trying to train power-endurance / conditioning.
And if I'm trying to train pure max power, 40 kg is too light compared to what I can do with barbell cleans.
So I found "this guy" on the Internet doing one arm swing with 68 kg.

and for his age and for all his injuries.Mark is pretty strong for his size.
Yes, I know. I pick this clip on his blog (or his facebook, I don't really remember).If the individual does not swing it chest height but the purpose is to use the movement to develop a stronger grip and to make their current bell feel lighter, then the reason is valid
For information purposes the gentleman in the video above one arm swinging a 68kg is master SFG Mark Reifkind
Hope this input adds more insight to the discussion
I recall Mark saying, on a different thread here, that he does not mind not being able to swing those heavy bells to chest level once he starts lifting them. It comes over time.
I'm sympathetic to that POV.
I don't swing something until I can clean it, and I clean it so that I can press it.
My rationale?
KBs are primarily an upper body training and conditioning tool; I have barbells for heavy leg stuff.
