From my experience, a lot of it comes down to balance and how the axe feels after 20–30 minutes of constant movement, not just the first few swings. I made the mistake of buying something too heavy early on, and my arms were dead halfway through training. Later I spent time comparing designs and rules, and that helped a lot. This page https://medievalextreme.com/axes/ explains different options really clearly, and it helped me understand what works best for buhurt axe use in real combat. After switching to a better-balanced axe, my control improved a lot, especially in close fights and clinches.
