I can't speak about the SF hilt directly, but I have a Hasbro TPM Obi Wan saber and it is fantastic for spins, flourishes, and all of that good stuff! Since the SF version will probably be a bit thinner and heavier, it seems like it will be even better for that! Of course, a lot of sabers here seem good for flourishing.

It seems like you're wary of dropping the saber. As long as you maintain a good firm grip on your saber this shouldn't happen. It has happened to me but only while dueling or tossing the saber.

Hi. Can't agree with you about the balance being the same with a toy version only lighter. You also have to factor in what kind of blade and length being used and where saber is gripped. Personally, I would never purposefully throw around my SF sabers even if they were stunt. Not that they couldn't stand a drop or more, but they are just too pretty and finely crafted for this abuse.

Regarding US. They build some workhorses that are made to withstand rough and tumble. So suggest getting the entry level hilts that are one piece and no attachments such as control box. The v2 - v4 series of the Aeon/Dominix or Initiates should work for you. The v2's have 2 blade screws. Suggest the heavy grade blades or better still, get some v4 SF blades with the screw tips. You can shave off the tip to round if a safety issue. Would check if either US or SF warranties cover potential damage for this kind of use.
