Body
The staff body (5'6" long) is made from 7/8" 7075-T6 aerospace grade aluminum, which is twice the strength of standard 6061-T6 aluminum (and only 15% weaker than titanium). This staff diameter fits comfortably on the body and rolls at a very controllable rate. Spaced equally on each end of the staff are six wick attachment points angled 60° apart, creating a corkscrew/ helix effect with the spokes when rolled.

Spokes
There are three spoke options; one fire and two LED. All spokes use our rigid wire base that gives a non-bouncy feel while still allowing for a lot of ground impact durability. Each cable has a threaded rod on one end, enabling easy screwing and unscrewing from the dragon staff body.

Fire Spokes are 2.4oz each with 2" wicks and burn about 4 minutes.*

Ultra LED Spokes come with either a low cost single color/ single use LED or the usb rechargeable, multi-function UltraPoi Ultraknob Pro.**

flowtoys LED Spokes will hold a standard flowtoys capsule and can be controlled from the outside without having to remove the top.**

* Burn times are estimated based on recorded burns using pure "white gas" / Coleman's Liquid Camp Fuel. Actual burn times may vary based on individual spinning style, length of fuel soak, and other factors.

** All LED spokes can be purchased with or without the LEDs.

Exposed Metal
Most severe equipment burns come from searing-hot exposed metal, not from the wicks. The wicking on the spokes is attached with recessed screws (less exposed metal and allows for replacing the wicks later).

Grip
We provide two grip options for dragons, and tend to recommend either Om grip for extra squish or Nimbus grip for more grip in wet / dusty conditions.

Om Grip is a yoga mat based grip with adhesive-backing. It has more give then the other options and is slightly less grippy than Nimbus or EPDM. This is especially good for dragon staff work, where you don't want the hair on your arms pulled out and the extra cushion will allow for longer practice times. It also comes in colors and does not leave any residue on your arms after use (like EPDM does). It is not as grippy as EPDM or Nimbus grip, so for those artist looking for the most tacky staff grip, Nimbus grip is probably a better option.

Nimbus Grip is a silicone foam based grip and is the latest in staff grip technology. It combines the best features of EPDM foam (great in moist or dusty conditions and slightly squishy for enhanced griping) with the additional benefits of being silicone based (much higher durability, two color options, natural heat resistance). The white option will get dirty over time and you will never get it perfectly white again. However, if you toss your staff in the air at night, you will be able to see it vs a black grip. Compared to EPDM, this grip will not rub off on you and is close but not quite as good in wet conditions. Om grip is thicker and not as grippy.
