Trainer and Sleeves

Is anyone selling trainers and training sleeves these days? It appears Chris is not only sold out, but no date is listed for restocking so I'm not sure if those items will ever return.

While the training sleeves were a great idea, they were molded out of rigid plastic. That was great, but the arm holding the pin was also hard plastic. That arm would break easily since it couldn't flex well. I bought 3 of the training sleeves, and all three broke within 30 minutes of using them.

I think the sleeves are an awesome idea, but just need a manufacturing upgrade. I still use mine, but use clear packing tape to hold the arm in place.

Thanks. That would be less than optimal.

Yea I have no idea what they cost new but I figured that was pretty overpriced.

Looks like one of mine that I made. Only made a handful... Cost was about $100-125 if I remember what I was charging to make them....

I asked him who made the sleeve and suggested the Juggler and he thought he might be the one, after he saw the video. I always thought the Jugglers sleeve had larger chamfered edges. Rodrigue10, if it looks like one of yours it probably is.. Nice work. KIRK

Jugglers are nice too. After looking closely I used a hex head for the set screw not a flathead ... So probably not mine....
