If you are just starting out, giving baton a try, and your arms are not
too long, you may want to purchase a toy baton. These batons are less expensive and possibly more convenient to
buy. But for just around $20 more, you can purchase a real quality baton. These batons are available
at some or most dance, baton studios, band shops, or online. There so many types and sizes. A good sales associate
will help you find a baton that's right for you.
The proper length of your baton should be measured from the middle of your
armpits to the end of the tip of your middle finger.
On every baton, there is one end that is larger than the other. This
larger end is called the ball. The smaller end is called the tip. If you look closely in the illustration, you
will see that the twirler's thumb is pointing toward the ball.
