Training contact staff
Staff sold individually (non-flammable equipment, not equipped with wicks).
Training contact staff:
This staff is a model that spins and rolls smoothly compared to a normal staff. Its mass causes it to rotate and will allow you to be fluid in your movements.
The ends of the stick accommodates 4.5cm rubber tips which have a role of protecting the staff but also decorating it.
Comfort is ensured by the grip of the staff and a colour code indicates the center of gravity of the staff.
Technical characteristics of the staff:
- Length: 1.50m.
- Diameter of the handle: 22 mm.
- Grip length: 24.5 cm.
- Diameter of the handle where the grip is located: 23 mm.
- Diameter of the rubber tips: 45 mm.
- Weight of the stick: about 770g.
What kind of use?
Contact staffs are aimed at a public wishing to practice with rather slow and precise movements. This type of staff is heavier, which allows it to be manageable. It is suitable for beginners as well as experienced users. Ideal for doing versatile initiations.
Hello, I'm looking for a bar to clip my dragon staff hubs onto. Would this bar hold fire wicks at the end, or is it bound to melt?
It would hold wicks but it's a 60/60 aluminum which can warp more easily if there's weight at the ends! And the decoration would melt emotionally. It would be better to buy an aluminum tube and add a grip in the center...
Hello, do you know when you will no longer be out of stock?
Hello, what is the weight of the staff please?
THANKS
This staff model weighs approximately 770g
Is this staff suitable for a beginner?
For contact, you might want something relatively heavy and long. The one meter and fifty centimeters length here is quite versatile for beginners. This staff is also a model we tend to recommend for beginners. If you're having a battle in your head over what length to choose for your first staff, know that you're never better served than by yourself. Run and get some cheap broomsticks, some handlebar tape for grip, and salvage some bike inner tubes (for the weight at the ends) and make yourself a series of homemade staffs with different weights and different lengths. This will cost you a fraction of the price of a professional staff like the ones on the market: no need to get excited about choosing your staff size. Just tinker around until you find a size that suits you! It will also be perfect for your training sessions and for introducing the discipline to your friends who visit you and your family! There are no rules on the weight and size of a staff... Also, all the advice I could give you will be very subjective and could be affirmed or contradicted depending on the person you ask this question to! The circus is also the art of recycling!
Good morning,
I've already fitted a broom handle with a grip and added metal washers to weight it down at both ends. So, reading your post, the following question comes to mind: why inner tubes? Thank you.
You can put whatever you want on the ends. I only recommended inner tubes because they're easy to find as scrap at bike shops. They're quite handy and easy to install by cutting them into strips and wrapping them around the ends of a staff, and also because of their weight.
