The advantage of a thinner / smaller diameter shaft is mostly in how it rolls along the body: the smaller diameter must rotate more times to travel the same distance, and it has a higher rolling resistance, which both lead to slower travel, which some people prefer for a slower movement flow.
A larger diameter head and/or flowers will also slow down the travel / roll. We’ve found 15mm to be the thinnest shaft that is still rigid enough to not be too bouncy. Adding flowers greatly reduces bounce by absorbing it.
The advantage of a thicker / larger diameter shaft is mostly that it is stiffer and less bouncy. The larger diameter also travels / rolls along the body faster, which some people prefer for faster movement flow. We’ve found 18mm to be the “point of diminishing returns” when it comes to stiffness. Any thicker doesn’t make much practical improvement to stiffness, and starts to feel bulky and roll too fast.

I got the martial sabre last minute for a festival. They came through and got it to me in time to get a little practice. This was the most expensive toy I've ever bought and I have no regrets. Never gotten so much attention for my flow! Everyone is entranced by this thing. I probably should have gotten the flow sabre for my personal style, but i am getting used to the balance. It is so fun that I will be getting the other one and making a sabre staff too. Great color patterns, handle feel is awesome, and its pretty intuitive if you've had any flow toys like a staff or baton before. The only downside to me is that the button for the blade requires removing the handle to access instead of being at the tip. Awesome product!!
