Hello everyone,
I'm new here and looking forward to start my S&S journey. I'm realizing that as I get older, flexibility and power are being compromised - and I can't let that happen! I want to use this foundational training to carry over into surfing, which is my favorite sport - and also to help pick up my daughter without having to think twice about back pain...
That being said, I need to start my kettlebell collection. I'm going to start with a 16kg and a 24kg, but not 100% sure which company to buy from. I read someone say, "let it hurt once in the beginning" in reference to buying quality. That seems to make sense to me.
My 2 top choices are Kettlebells USA Metrixx Elite and Kettlebell Kings kg Powder Coat's. I am hearing that the Metrixx E-Coat finish is longer lasting, that the bell has an excellent shape, finish, grip, and feel. I've also read and heard that the Kings kettlebell's powdercoat finish is awesome, very high quality and maybe an even nicer grip and feel (the color touches are real nice too). I keep hearing though people complain about powdercoat chipping and rusting with time (although Kings seems to be the best PC out there), even within a few weeks, so I may be leaning to the much pricier Metrixx bell.
I would love to get anyone's input that may have experience with these bells to guide this newbie into the right direction!
All the best and thank you for any help!
