Anyone who twirls the baton knows that baton twirling is a sport. Like any sport, it comes with its fair share of risks and injuries. Bruises, blisters, breaks and sprains all come with the territory. Fortunately, engineers and performers have designed and discovered products to make the experience easier and more fun, especially in the practice phase. Here are a few of those products: Rosin Powder Rosin is a type of resin that’s used in soaps, inks, adhesives and, most importantly, hand drying powder for baton twirling. Star Line Baton offers a rosin mixture that absorbs moisture, keeping hands dry. This improves friction and helps prevent drops, which helps tremendously when learning new tricks and routines. While this powder is great for practice, it is forbidden in certain competitions, listed as a performance enhancing substance. Baton Tape Baton tape can add sparkle and color to your baton. Star Line Baton offers cotton, vinyl, metallic, prism and sparkle varieties in all kinds of fun colors. Some baton tape is just for show, but there’s another type that emphasizes performance over style. Baton Grip Baton grip is also a type of tape that goes on the baton. This type of tape makes practice easier and can also be used during most competitions. It allows twirlers to get a better hold on the baton, giving the baton a different texture and absorbing moisture. Baton grip also helps alleviate problems like blisters that come from repetitive motions with hard objects. Star Line Baton offers freestyle, twirl and ultra thin varieties of baton grip that are built to last through practice and performances. With the help of these powders and tapes, baton twirling practice can be much easier and more fun for beginners and seasoned twirlers alike. At Star Line Baton, we offer a variety of high quality baton twirling products and accessories. If you have any questions or need more information, call us at 931-528-7829.
