How to choose a stick?

Stick for rhythmic gymnastics

The gymnastic ribbon winding in the hands is controlled using a special stick for rhythmic gymnastics, which is made using special technology by only a few manufacturers around the world (Sasaki, Chacott, Pastorelli, Venturelli, Tuloni). It is attached to the tape using a special metal carabiner, which is small and almost invisible with a nylon thread.

The gymnastics stick is made of a special alloy of plastic or, as many call it, fiberglass, as well as carbon fiber. The convenient handle is made of rubber. It is very important to choose the correct length of this subject for rhythmic gymnastics. The length of the stick depends on the length of the tape itself.
