Apparatus Care
  • Do not expose clubs to extreme heat or cold - they might crack
  • Do not use on concrete as they might chip or crack if you drop them
  • Use tape to strengthen the clubs and add colour
  • To practice mills (especially when learning to do them above your head) use socks with something weighted but soft (like a rolled up sock) in the end - this way it doesn't hurt if it hits your head
  • You know a pair of clubs are the right size for you when the club just passes your elbow joint on the inside of your arm
