Our verdict
A long, curved kick shield with multiple handles and triple-density foam, for holders who want several grip points. Venum sells it from its own UK store but publishes no size or weight in text and does not say whether it is sold singly.
Venum describes the Absolute Long with a "curved design" (also "concaved design"), "triple density foam", "multiple handles" and a "Skintex leather" outer. Skintex is Venum's own material name, and Venum does not describe it as genuine or synthetic. Venum says it designed the shield with strikers "from Muay Thai to MMA" in mind, and that it is made in Thailand.
Venum calls the shield "Long" but does not state the dimensions or weight in text. Its UK store lists a single default option, which suggests but does not confirm that one shield is sold.
Clubs and coaches who want a long, curved shield with several handles for kicking drills, bought directly from Venum's UK store.
You want a shield its maker says is sold singly (see the RDX T1). You want a left- or right-hand arm holder, which Venum does not describe. You need to know the size or weight before buying.

- Triple-density foam, per Venum
- Sold directly by Venum's UK store
Cons
