Hi all,

I am looking to get the pessoa training aid, however when i looked on ebay there are lots of other 'versions' of these....

Do you think the would be as good as the original pessoa or would they be a waste of money? Even John Whitaker is making one now;

I have a very cheap ebay one , the only difference between that and the whitaker one my richer friend had was her rope was nicer colours. Both did the same job. Dont know anyone rich enough to own a pessoa one sorry!!!!!!

I've got one of the copies made by Devoza (think that's the correct name) and it's absolutely fine.
