 excellent service - excellent product October 12, 2008
Traci L. Wilkinson (streetsboro, Ohio United States)
I was so happy that I could order batons from Amazon. They came within a few days so that my daughter could have them for her very next class. In fact, her teacher and mothers of other students wanted to know how we got them so fast. Thank you!
My daughter really likes it. May 6, 2008

We received the baton in a timely manner. Unfortunately, the "silver" was peeling off of the baton and cut my daughters hands. The company did replace the baton which we received today (5/5/08) and so far it looks better than the first one. We appreciate them sending a replacement to us.

I ordered this for my 8 yr. old daughter who is interested in learning to twirl. It is perfect for a beginner. The baton was priced fairly and shipped quickly.
GREAT BASIC BATON September 18, 2007

This is a good quality baton that twirls well. I have purchased several different lengths for my girls and they are well balanced and twirl evenly. I purchased a different baton from a different company and the "ball" or big end of the baton seemed to be too heavy which made it hard to keep the baton centered while you were twirling.
You can order more expensive batons from different companies which have dimples on the shaft (to help with positioning) or have a "star" shape on one end to keep it from rolling on the floor when dropped, but this basic baton design (with no frills) gets the job done at the cheapest price.
This baton should last a life time because it is made of good quality material. You can order caps Baton Practice Caps which are great for keeping the ends white if you perform in competitions. My girls just use the caps to tell whose baton is whose since they each have a different color of caps.
*Just a note on picking the right size:
One well known baton company suggested that you stand with your arm out straight from your side and measure from your neck to the longest finger to determine the length you need. Another well known baton company said you should measure from your armpit to your longest finger.
I ordered a baton for myself using the first method of neck to finger and it seems to be a little too long for me and the end of the baton will sometimes bump my upper arm when I am twirling. If I had to do it over again I would have gone with a size somewhere closer to the armpit measurment.
*Just another little note: I took a few baton classes growing up and learned a few twirls but wanted to teach my girls a little more. I tried out the videos by Susan Orr (Susan Orr's Baton Twirling Vol. 1,2 and 3)and they were just what I needed since no baton classes are offered around my area. (Don't order Vol 3 unless you know a lot about twirling.)She breaks down the movement of each twirl in a very slow pace and shows different angles of view. She then shows you how it will look up to pace after you have practiced the twirl a lot. She did an excellent job on the video and I think a child in 3rd/4th grade or older should be able to watch and learn twirls all by herself from the video. Susan talks in the video like she would to girls in one of her own classes.
I have always had good luck ordering from Amazon;I put one baton in my cart just to check out the shipping price and it would have cost me $8. I doubt you can beat that price ordering form the baton companies themselves because their shipping is expensive!
