The five products I recommend to every new twirler
A short, honest list of gear that earns its place in the bag — and a few things you can skip.
A rubber-tipped beginner baton sized to your arm. Don't start on a borrowed one.
Grip tape — the white athletic kind. It saves your hands in the first month when blisters are real.
A simple practice mat for hardwood floors. Saves the baton, saves the floor, saves the neighbors.
A small notebook for skill goals. Sounds silly. Works every time.
Skip the expensive 'beginner sparkle baton.' You'll outgrow it in three months.
