Making practice staves

topic posted Tue, January 29, 2008 - 3:22 PM by  offlineL
I want to make a practice staff. I've got a broom handle that's the right length and a has a nice feel, but it need to be a little heavier. I've seen people impale tennis balls on the ends and mount them with electrical tape, but I'm thinking there must be more than just the balls; perhaps something inside them? Also, I've seen soft rubbery strips of stuff wrapped around staves to add grip; what is that stuff?

Thanks, folk!

    Actually, you'd be surprised how much just a little weight will help.

    For a real cheap way to do it, get some duct tape and some cheap shop rags. Wrap a towel, around each end and tape it down. Spin. If it needs more, add another towel.
