I've used mine a few times and man do I like the way it works. Hits hard (because of the length and the lighter weight adds to the speed which also helps). Carries nicely due to it's lighter weight as well.
my only complaint is the small handle What I would give for another 1/2" on the length of the handle
You could put a small lanyard on it, just long enough to hold maybe two fingers. That way you could slide your hand back farther on the handle and still have a secure hold.
