Forums > Technical Discussion > review of innercore staves with contact friendly handles :)

i've pestered and pestered until i managed a yes from concentrate with regards to producing a set of innercore staff handles that are thin/flush with the rest of the staff, as opposed to the contoured grip that is presently avialable.



this should be good news to those who had qualms about not being able to contact twirl a staff that had contoured grips.



hey this is crazy - one year ago i'd be scratching my head (amongst other hairy things) if you asked me what contact staffing was. Now we wider recognition of a sweet family of movement.



huzzah.

The handle still features essentially the same locking mechanism. sweet.

They still are quite compact when broken down, backpack friendly! (friends get surprised at festivals about where i pulled it out of)

the handles are completely flush with the aluminium ends.

the length of the grip has increased - this will create more traction for contact staff movements

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourself, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous and talented? Who are you NOT to be?

We are the music makers, We are the dreamers of dreams,
Wandering by lone sea-breakers, And sitting by desolate streams;
World-losers and world-forsakers, On whom the pale moon gleams;
We are the movers and shakers of the world for ever, it seems.
