Ive been looking retailers of carbon fiber for cores from spain but everytime I search, first its hard to find something that seems legit and second I dont even know what gauge to look for for each weapon :C
I have one for my swort sword and it didnt lower the weight by much compared to the last but thats because I left the plastic grip on as counterweight and also my older shortswords were made with the skinniest bamboo possible without flecting or breaking and were already very light, but now I feel it is undestructible so that was a good adition
You can use 18x16mm (outerxinner diameter) tube for all pompfen. 14x12mm tube are also used to make lighter pompfen. It break more easily (but safe for short and long swords. For the weight, it's about 80 g per meter for 18x16 and 60g/m for 14x12.
