It becomes five parts.

Inside sutoringusu of five parts, as for grommet and grip
Because it is the consumable, exchange becomes necessary depending upon pain condition.

* sutoringusu
Because sutoringusu is pulled by always strong power, it keeps being damaged regardless of play frequency.
(Because they are 1 pounds = approximately 0.45Kg, when it has stretched with 55 pounds, it is in a state where it is pulled with approximately 25Kg)

Regardless of play frequency, the 3~4 in month the re-covering of 1 times the best!
