The shipping time for this product was amazing! It arrived a full 6 days prior than the expected ship date.

This is my first jhang bong staff (ATA) and I would say that it is very nice. It is a little heavier than the average staff, but that is helpful in building strength and improving the quality of motion for the techniques. I have been told that for actual combat or for forms compition a lighter staff would be better. The quality of the wood is very nice, and of course has a few small flaws that come with it but that is like anything made from real wood. The flaws though are not anything that causes a problem use wise or looks wise. I am the only one who knows those flaws are there only because I gave the staff a thorough inspection upon arrival. The stickers were on the outer packaging and not on the wood so that made me happy too. I would recommend this staff to anyone interested in it.

The case itself is very nice and good quality. Plenty of room for 3 staffs. I did find that the strap is a little inconvenient for short people. Being barely 5'3 and carrying a 5' staff, the strap, even at it's tightest (which is too tight to wear comfortably) the case still hangs too low, nearly dragging on the ground. I also had to tie a shoe lace to the top of the strap to tie down the extra prtion of the case that was hanging due to carrying a short staff. Otherwise the case is nice. Not bad for the money I would say, and probably would be better for a taller person than I.
