Started 5A a while week or so ago and really loving it. My only qualm is that when counterweight meets throw the TING is very very loud. Dice were the worst, the ultraweight w/ bearing is better but still piercingly loud. Is there something out there like the Ultraweight (which i love) but quieter? or is this just nature of the beast…

Yeah, the Monkey Weight (as it is officially named), is a rubber ball counterweight. Rubber tends to absorb vibrations, after all.

This exact noise is the main reason why I’m terrified of the butterfly trick. I love it and i can usually get about 10 reps, but when they collide, your ears bleed.
