Im basically just trying to find a cheap and easy way to make my own practice swinging clubs. Any ball + sock = poi type of answers out there?

Let's turn those old bridges we crossed into ashes.
We'll blaze a new trail,
and torch the rough patches.

How about, get some wood, a sharp knife and whittle some smile Hard work but very satisfying and cheap as chips. Apart from that shrug and I'm sure someone out there has a better answer than mine

Suggest buying the white one piece universal swinging/juggling clubs because they are cheap (AUD $15.00). Alternatively, you could search for cupboard knobs at a hardware shop, and make your own with Al tube etc. If you know someone who does wood work, then they might be able to turn some club knobs for you.

Good Luck

These work surprisingly well

But there's no sense crying over every mistake. You just keep on trying till you run out of cake.

Made my first club today and I gotta say, it came out better than I even expected. I went with a yellow and black color scheme cuz the hardware store didnt have any white electrical tape. Making them is a bit tedious and time consuming since you gotta cut all that paper then wrap the whole thing in tape but its well worth it. Very nice weight, well balanced, and surprisingly durable. Im definately making two more to complete my set and Ill probably make some to sell to friends.

How lond did it take to make a one?

Is it the Truth?
Is it Fair to all concerned?
Will it build Goodwill and Better Friendships?
Will it be Beneficial to all concerned?

Didnt really keep track of the time but Id say is was around an hour to an hour and a half per club. I got one more to make yet so Ill try and time myself. Ill also work on getting some pics once they're done.

I think any future sets of these I make will be slightly modified. Im gonna put a thin wooden dowel down the center to add a bit of support so you cant easily bend it in half. Will also modify the heads so they're a bit wider, the suggested recipee results in a rather thin headed club.
