Bought this as a practice bat for my 16yr old niece but may use it some in games as well. The CF5 is a superb older model bat with a nice sweet spot.

I really like this workout. I have zero kickboxing experience and am in mediocre shape, and I have found this video to be challenging, but not at all impossible. The setting looks professional and the instructor is easy to understand and explains the moves well. I plan to keep using it a couple of times a week and then move on to the advanced video.
