I have just started working with the kettlestacks and am very impressed! Also, Thanks for the single heavy swing tip. Like you said, I find the one heavy kettlebell swing easier to learn than two lighter kettlebells. With your superior product and excellent customer service, I will not hesitate recommending kettlestacks to anyone in the islands! (KM Hawaii)
