Metalic

This is a picture of my two metalic jahng bongs. The one on the right is my original competition weapon and the blue one on the left is my new one that CTP bought for me at Worlds - isn't it pretty? My plan was to have someone take a picture of me showcasing my wicked skills with each of these jahng bongs, however the weather did not cooperate with my plans. What makes these competition jahng bongs as opposed to the regular ones we use in class, you ask? (Even if you didn't, I'm going to tell you anyway!) The one on the right is actually the same length as the one I use in class (about 5'6") but is a fraction of the weight. I believe it weighs about 5 ounces, compared to 14 oz. My new one is only 5' and weighs about 3 oz. In a tournament, you are allowed to use a jahng bong that is between 6" shorter or taller than you. The shorter ones just make some of the "tricks" easier.
