Fusion handles and Pure ends are available in carbon fibre or aluminium. Carbon fibre keeps your setup light, while aluminium offers a heavier feel. The right choice comes down to how you like your staff to move.
Carbon Fibre
Carbon fibre combines low weight with high strength, helping keep more of your staff’s weight towards the ends. It’s especially popular for dragon staffs, where hubs and spokes can add significant weight.
Benefits
- Noticeably lighter than aluminium
- Light, responsive feel
- High strength for its weight
Considerations
- Can crack or splinter under severe impact
- Unsuitable for direct exposure to fire
Carbon-fibre handles can be used safely with aluminium fire ends.
Aluminium
Made from extruded aluminium, these tubes provide a strong, robust option with more weight through the staff. Some spinners prefer that heavier feel, especially for contact staff.
Benefits
- Strong and robust
- Suitable for fire-end construction
- Heavier feel for those who prefer it
Considerations
- Heavier than carbon fibre
- Can bend under severe impact
All Fusion Fire-end tubes are aluminium, regardless of the handle material you choose.
