He's having double knee surgery. He's a bit shorter than me, as you can see by the paracord wrap. But I couldn't bring myself to cut the stick down anymore. The balance is about the midpoint of the wrap. Hope he likes it.
I liked really tall staves like even taller than me but I have been using one just a smidge over armpit height and I have to say palming the to with the off hand is a really natural and comfortable stance. So im warming to the height.
