The advantage of a thinner / smaller diameter shaft is mostly in how it rolls along the body: the smaller diameter must rotate more times to travel the same distance, and it has a higher rolling resistance, which both lead to slower travel, which some people prefer for a slower movement flow.
A larger diameter head and/or flowers will also slow down the travel / roll. We’ve found 15mm to be the thinnest shaft that is still rigid enough to not be too bouncy. Adding flowers greatly reduces bounce by absorbing it.
The advantage of a thicker / larger diameter shaft is mostly that it is stiffer and less bouncy. The larger diameter also travels / rolls along the body faster, which some people prefer for faster movement flow. We’ve found 18mm to be the “point of diminishing returns” when it comes to stiffness. Any thicker doesn’t make much practical improvement to stiffness, and starts to feel bulky and roll too fast.
We offer a wide range of standard shaft lengths.
Custom lengths available - please select the custom length option from the staff length dropdown and be sure to specify your desired overall staff length in the text field below.

Disclaimer: I am a beginner, but have tried different staves from friends so I can compare.
I love this product, it’s worth every penny. If you’re like me and are obsessed with LED props, this is an excellent one. The build quality is great, and as a beginner this is a crucial criteria as you’ll be dropping the staff a lot. The housing for the capsules is a silicone like material that has slight give and protects the capsule lights very well when dropped. The brightness on the capsule lights is insane, like I had to turn it down insane, which is why I have to say this: If you’re on a budget you do not need the 4x capsule staff. Do I want it? Sure. Will I upgrade it in the future? Yes. Right now though, I do not feel like I am short on bright shiny LEDs because two of these capsule 2.0’s are insane. I got the firefly grip which I chose because I have UV lights in my basement and it’s UV activated. I do also appreciate that the firefly grip is a golden color too which is highlighted well on black clothes even without UV(90% of my wardrobe). The grip performance is excellent. It feels like it’s glued to my body sometimes, which makes flowing so much more fun and fluid, and makes the energy transfers more controlled. This is another product review but I do recommend getting the FlowToys flowers, especially as a beginner. It adds weight to the staff but it’s also penetrated well by the LED due to the clearish material that’s used. To sum things up: I’m just very happy with this product, I love it and I would recommend it to my friends as well as random internet strangers. Thanks FlowToys!
