Options

15mm vs 18mm carbon fiber shaft diameters

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.

Shaft Length

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.

  • Please be aware that staffs with longer shaft lengths (130cm and up) are more flexible.
  • Please note that custom lengths may have 2-week lead time to build.
  • There are NO refunds on custom lengths.

Shaft Tape Colors

Composite staffs' carbon fiber shafts come wrapped in high-quality holographic deco tape. Choose from 4 available tape options each featuring its own unique color & optical effects:
  • classic: a classy silver prismatic tape
  • firefly: a shimmering green & gold holographic tape
  • spirit: a lustrous, iridescent soft purple & cyan tape
  • white tiger: pearlescent base overlaid with a silvery cat eye pattern that is ultra reflective

Bridge for connecting to the app:

Want to use the flowtoys connect app? You'll need a small hardware bridge to enable your props to talk to your mobile device and vice versa.

We have 2 options for bridges:

  • Pocket bridge comes with its own power bank and can be used when you're out and about.
  • USB bridge is great for home use. Just plug into power via usb.

You can find out more about the app and bridge here.

    10/10 would recommend.

    This is our first contact staff.
    That being said the brick hearth that stands out in our living room has yet to bother this thing. Already been tossed in the mud, twice. The grip GRABS you when it's clean. FLIPPING GORGEOUS COLORS AND PATTERNS!!!!
    We're buying a second.

    Makes colors I had only seen in my dreams. <3

    This product is INSANELY freaking durable! I have dropped this thing a bajillion times pretty hard some times and it has held up strong. The capsule lights inside are awesome to watch. I can't ever put it down. Just spending all day for my part of the earth to face away from the sun again so i can play outside. lol. I am beyond pleased with my staff.

    Long time user, favorite staff

    I love and have loved this staff for the last 4 years. It has traveled across country with me multiple times. I won't say that it is indestructible, but a well made product. The thin shaft is not only strong and resilient but extremely grippy when clean. Cleaning the grip is quick and easy. I am still on my original grip after multiple trips to the burn and mre beach days that I can remember.
    The only weakness is/was (I have gen 1 capsules) the capsule modules themselves. I've gone through multiple sets that had problems with dust or water intrusion. I started plastic wrapping the capsules last year when at outdoor festivals or camping to remedy this.
    Even with that , I whole heartedly recommend this staff .

    rigid, beautiful, and DURABLE

    An exceptionally balanced, gripped, and functioning staff, the composite system is one of the best innovation the flow arts has seen. These staves are like Legos with their ability to mix and match parts to customize your spinning experience, and can even utilize your podpoi parts. The Elastomer grip is exceptionally tacky and super easy to clean, and the carbon fiber is rigid, beautiful, and DURABLE
    Advantages:
    - Beautiful lights and modes
    - Highly durable design
    - Superior elastomer grip
    - Soft silicone ends (and podshells!)
    - Modular to customize your staff and other props
    - Rechargeable

    Disadvantages:
    - Thin shaft diameter can be bouncy at lengths around 5"+, depending on how aggressive your spinning style is
    - Elastomer loses grip immediately when wet (sweat/rain)

    Solid staff, worth it

    I have put mine through hell, it has put up with all of it. Never had an issue and it is super fun. The grip is a little touchy with moisture or getting dusty but a good clean and dry takes care of it.
