Note that you can effectively adjust the weight of the mace by moving your grip up or down the length of the handle, thereby adjusting the length of the lever.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Strength Shop","offers":[{"title":"9kg (minor scratches)","offer_id":57051757150473,"sku":"BWARE-MACEBELL-9-1","price":67.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"9kg (major scratches)","offer_id":57051757183241,"sku":"BWARE-MACEBELL-9-2","price":55.24,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0564\/6113\/1956\/products\/15kg-flat.jpg?v=1637502420","url":"https:\/\/strengthshop.eu\/products\/b-ware-mace-9kg","provider":"Strength Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
