Great kettlebell! The handle is great for two-handed and one-handed exercises, but the wider geometry doesn’t change how you switch your grip in cleans, snatches, and others. The raw steel surface looks great with the matte powder coating, and it provides good grip. I recommend checking how the grip feels when you work with this kettlebell before throwing chalk on it. The raw steel handle provides better grip friction than a polished steel handle, and you can get away with less chalk or no chalk. On the whole, these are excellent kettlebells that are more affordable than most other competition kettlebells.
