The only issue i have with that set up is, that it might throw your body into unbalance. What i am getting at is, that your not swining on your normal plane or maybe not on the plane you want. So now your ingraining muscle memory.

But why spend money on that, when you can get the same effect using a medecine ball. Look for horizontal chops. Exact same motion, for fraction of the cost. Then you can do horizontal throws againts a wall. That works out the obliques..

Medicine ball is way less expensive and more versitile. I go with Alton Brown from the food network, there is only one uni-tasker in the kitchen and thats a fire extinguisher. Everything else must be a multi-tasker. That thing above is a uni-tasker. Get a medicine ball.
