4.0 out of 5 stars Good staff, but not quite suited for the form I was learning, January 7, 2010

This is a quality staff, of traditional waxwood. The only problems with it stem from that. My staff came with a few knots in it and points where it was slightly irregularly shaped, and it arrived with a small chip out near the tip (I think due to a knot that resulted in some loose wood). More oddly, because of the staff's natural taper, it's noticeably wider at one end than the other -- with the result that the staff's point of balance is about a third of the way from wide end, rather than in the center.

None of those things are necessarily critical problems -- in fact, that kind of taper is exactly what you want for some forms -- but they're something to be aware of, and if your form needs a more evenly-balanced staff, this one won't be quite suitable.

5.0 out of 5 stars a good staff with no splinters, February 27, 2010

Solidly built, even specifications (i.e. uniform thickness), smooth with basically no chance you'd get splinters even if you regularly use your bare hands on the surface. I use the pole exclusively for stretching, and I find the full 6 feet necessary to to over-the-shoulder exercises holding the pole perpendicular to my height (i.e. not up-and-down but across.) Weight of pole gives it a "solid" feel.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great bo staff!!, June 16, 2010

While this was one of the first bo staffs that I purchased, and I have given it a beating, it has served me well. Perfect as a walking stick, the taper is very nice! A little bit of a curve, but I can't take a star away for that. It is a very good looking weapon. Used a butane lighter to mark center of gravity for training purposes.

Highly recommend the purchase of this staff to any customer!
