Oxbow Meteor (Puppyhammer) Kit

Write A Review

1. Excellent prop, but watch your head

   The ovo heads are very durable and have survived hitting the ground many times (mostly on dirt, sometimes on pavement). I like the node pills better than knots. I did notice some broken strands when I unscrewed a node pill. It hasn't caused any noticeable problems, but I don't recommend repositioning them many times.
   
   My only complaint is that hitting myself in the head leaves me dazed. My old DIY "sock of lentils" heads didn't have that problem, but their movement was noticeably less stable (probably because of the shifting lentils). I've recently gone back to using my lentil heads on the Lanternsmith tether, both for safety and so that I'm less nervous when trying new moves. Even if you don't use the ovo heads, it's definitely worth getting the tether + node pills. It's much more responsive than my old stretchy nylon tether and has the right amount of friction for contact moves. Unknown on 23rd Jun 2023

2. Fantastic

   They really put love into this produce. The fact they give you 10 feet for yout o cut to your liking is fantastic. The rope looks fantastic, and the OVO heads are perfect for this product. Jordan on 25th Sep 2022

3. Slick, well executed product.

   Just getting into this prop and was hoping to get something I could adjust to get a good fit and would feel great so I would be excited to pick it up. I am very happy that this kit exceeded these expectations. I got the micro nodes and am very impressed with how they feel. All the parts are high quality and feel like they will hold up for a long time. A lot of thought went into this and it shows. Shipped fast too. Bill Biz Olbrisch on 8th Apr 2021

4. Hands down the best kit available

   Fully modular and upgradeable, you can tell that somebody put a lot of thought and care into this product. It arrived earlier than expected and is a massive improvement from my improv set. Thank you guys! You're fuckin awesome! Anton Moquin on 8th May 2020

5. Best you can get.

   I've only had this a few days, but I can already tell that it's a massive upgrade over my previous 90mm contact ball setup. The low profile heads take much less effort to build/maintain speed. The small diameter gives you slightly more room to avoid those shin smacks. I'm currently using 2 slugs (190g) most of the time, but it is really nice to be able to adjust the weight for a heavier or lighter hammer as a training aid. This thing is awesome and to me feels like an instant upgrade. I only wish I had gotten one sooner. Adam Smith on 26th Jul 2018

6. Must have

   I love the kit. Works wonderfully, and should help streamline my ability to learn puppy hammer techniques. There was just a little bit of trimming on the Ovo heads that needed to be done, but that's to be expected with castings. The umoja capsules are similar enough in size that I can switch them out for lighted ones! -make sure to order clear heads if you want to do that though- Good job lanternsmiths. Keep it up!
