International standard women's bar is 25mm diameter, 2.01m length, moderate whip. For a 15kg training bar, whip is almost zero... it's stiff, so you pull *hard* and get under fast—no spring to help.
My first state meet in Punjab, I warmed up with a rusty old 15kg bar... it felt dead, but it taught me to generate all the power myself. Now with the proper 25kg competition bar, that early stiffness made the whip feel like a gift.
