It is a very precious No.5 barrel with a center center of gravity and a 3.5 grip (three fingers that may or may not hit the ring finger), but it feels comfortable to fit snugly in the hand.
The small shark cut on the last part prevents it from falling off and is quite effective when you need to make a big push.
The flight is a straightforward torpedo, but the sharpness of the No. 5 model gives the impression of piercing the target straight like the old rapier, so the flight is naturally linear.
The No.5 model has a narrower front outline, so it is highly recommended for those who place their middle finger around the tip.
It looks cool when set up with a slim shaft.
I have a bad image when I aim at a hat or a bed with a big torpedo, but with this narrower outline, it gives me an image that there is room to spare.
I'm thinking of ordering 95% of these from Kings next.

Barrels that are surprisingly easy to handle, yet tell you you're wrong when you make a mistake.

But it doesn't come off big.


It seems to be more suited for a pusher than a pendulum thrower!

This is my personal opinion, so I hope you will take it as an advice!

It is an amazing barrel.
I am using L-style carbon slim 370 with a small flight and DMC metal champagne ring.

The center and rear balances have a stretchy feel, but the front balances have a sharp sting.

You can easily feel the weight of the barrel and it also has a good release, so it is easy to get a good height and the barrel will help you if you lose your throw for a moment.

The cut is new and even with the corners standing up, I can use it without feeling any discomfort without getting any burrs. Personally, I love double rings, but this cut may be better than them.

And I am personally very satisfied with the appearance, which is the most important thing (laughs).

At any rate, I want to surprise everyone by making them throw it at me (laughs).

I ordered it the other day and used it earlier today, and it features a pleasant grip.

The back square groove and the U-shaped cut give me a good grip, and the reverse cut in front of it gives me the impression that I can release the dart where I want to release it. The reverse cut in front of it also gives the impression of being able to release the dart at the point where you want to release it.

The center of gravity is also center of gravity, which is rare for No.5.
The center of gravity is also center of gravity, which is rare for No.5.

The center of gravity shifts the center of gravity slightly backward, making it easier to create an arrow angle when setting up.

The specs are 40mm x 7.35mm, so I think it is easy to use for many people regardless of the user.

And even though it is not someone's signature model, I think it is quite impressive that the price is less than 10,000 yen for such high quality.

I hope many people will use this barrel!

I just landed today and took a quick look at it.
The conclusion is that it is a very good product.
Especially, this cut is surprisingly good at catching fish, contrary to its appearance.
It is very easy to pull it out, but it is very strong and holds its weight well.
The fly is very straight, and it flies beautifully even if you are not conscious of it, because it stays on the line you are aiming at.


The center balance of the No.5 specification is very valuable, isn't it?
The thickness is a little thin, but I don't feel uncomfortable at all. The thickness is a little thin, but it does not make me feel uncomfortable at all.
The length is also standard length.
I have relatively large hands, so I can handle it without any problem.
The width of the rear grip portion is almost the same as the width of my thumb.
I don't have to worry about gripping it.

I would recommend this barrel to any player regardless of his/her level.
King's Japan always surprises me with their barrels.
They did it again this time.
