Best kettlebell for high rep snatches

What is the best KB for high rep snatches (for the price)? Adler? US KB? Muscledriver? another? (I want to pay <$100 for 24kg). Thanks

To be frank, you would be better suited spending another $20 or $30 and get a green AKC bell. The handles and horns are perfect for extended sets. I've not used US KB so I can't comment on them. But both Adler and Muscledriver have bigger handles which are very difficult to use for extended sets - IMO.

I would definitely defer to Cate Imes. She's not only a Master of Sport in Grivory Sport but an excellent and extremely knowledgable coach who's very generous with her time.

All the best,
Arden

Get GS KBs like Arden said. Perform Better has them, I liked the 16kg I got to handle today, it was nice.

All I would buy these days is the GS KBs. All the cheap hardstyle KBs are only good for certain exercises, the GS KBs are good for everything. More uses, same tool.

These bells with shipping are about $200. Do you know how they compare to the Ader competition bells? or Perform Better competition bells? Thanks.

Are these the AKC bells? Thanks.
