Deep Dive Adex Club Review

[@BluegillGreg]

I hacksawed a 6 foot spinlock barbell into a 23" club handle and a 38" mace handle. I hand filed to round off the sharp edges. It works well. My collars do have rubber rings, and I use 2 collars on each side of the plates. Thanks for your review.

Dude that is a great DIY solution!

​@@strongmandancan you do a review on the hydracore hydra plus adex?

[@strongmandan]

@@troymatthews9541 mark wildman did a review. I’m not a fan of things like this though. In my opinion it’s a bosu ball style of training. I hate that crap. Just get strong and you get plenty stable. I could see it’s use for traveling but that’s it.

@@strongmandan Ive once brought a 20pound kettlebell that had water in the inside but I didn't know until later. I didn't like it because felt like the water put me where it wanted me to go instead of me just going there myself. But the benefit of it being on an handle is that it won't hurt so much if it hits you. But also what about plates? How many 5 and 2.5 pounds can you'd fit on it?

A review of the use and placement of lightweight spacers, please.

[@strongmandan]

I’ll get one made this week but here’s a description. ​​⁠spacers go on the screw. It’s a 5/8” screw so bthey have a 5/8” hole and an overall diameter of 2”. So cyou won’t use the Adex plates you’d just use the Olympic plates

[@KaPPy83]

Just got my Wildman club today. Looking forward to putting it to use.

[@strongmandan]

Love it!

@@strongmandan hey! Can you safely use the adex plates with the CK Maceworks Cadi Club more? im deciding between the Cadi Club or the adex club, but feel limited with the idea of the diameter of standard plates. I figure the plates from adex fix that solution.

[@strongmandan]

@@mikec5099 Unfortunately no. The CK has a 1" Screw. The Adex is 5/8." Adex is the best adjustable club in my book. The plate width is necessary for club work. The one I sell is the best adjustable mace though. It'll be up for sale on my site attitudeiron.com this evening. It's also going to save you $50-$100 dollars over CK or Adex and includes Free Shipping.

Make o-ring cut from an old inner tube? Use several thicknesses if needed?

[@strongmandan]

Yeah that could work. You can buy nylon washers that work. I ended up just doing that

[@jessejohns4783]

Home depot, get a rubber washer and glue it to the underside of the spindle. I've never had a problem though.

[@strongmandan]

Yep that’s what I ended up doing

[@troymatthews9541]

Stand on something tall and do the mill with the mace

[@strongmandan]

That would work but I have clubs so no need to.

[@troymatthews9541]

@@strongmandan pound for pound mace has the most torque 70 lb club vs 70lb mace the mace wins when standing on something that gives you more ground coverage . A 27 inche club maybe 33 to 36 inches at 70 lbs vs a 57 inche mace

[@strongmandan]

I have some 3d printed spacers on mine so I can use olympic plates and I’ve had it up to 70lbs with lots of room to spare on the add in kit screw. The standard screw would still be fine for over 70lbs. You could probably do 1” plates instead and use 10’s. I haven’t tried that though. I hate standard plates.

[@chriskelley4805]

How long is the weight pin? I’m thinking about buying the Arc and using spacers to push the weight out to feel more like a mace. For when I feel like using a longer lever. Thank you

[@strongmandan]

@@chriskelley4805 the standard pin is about 13” the addon kit pin is 16”
