I really like the virtues of these. The plastics are best for free play in my opinion, I prefer them to anything I've use din that regard, including padded and federschwerter. They ar egreat for casual practice too and for instructing. But for energetic drills and exercises, steel or wood is superior in my opinion, as the solid contact just feels more confidant.
I also would definitely not advise combining wood and plastic, they perform too differently and don't mix well together in my opinion.
