Yeah Debs right you have to test the length by doing a
couple of shovel motions, and decide for yourself..the
folks in the hardware store might look at you funny
but oh well. The Fiberglass does absorb more
vibration, but i have been informed that the heavier
you go in weight the less choice you have my 20lb
sledge is durable oak, fiberglass was'nt available
supposedly. Also take into account your height and the
length of your arms/legs.
Have a good day everyone.
