I am a beginner and I found it great! I tried with other staffs but with this it was easier!

Whether you're a beginner or a more experienced fire twiddler this staff is quite honestly superb! I and a few other folks I spin with have been using these staffs for a while now and we honestly love them with good reason!
-The padded grip is comfortable and securely affixed. It gives good grip and a small amount of cushioning that you really appreciate on high throws. It takes up the middle third of the staff too which helps you to not only find the centre with ease but also to see where the key points are for pendulum like swings such as you might use for neck wraps, stalls or other funky improvisations.
-The shaft itself is made from aluminium and to date I have not burned myself while accidentally grabbing it when something goes a bit wrong. I have slightly bent it before while doing kick tricks or occasionally on dropping big throws while playing catch, but that's only to be expected as I treat my staffs fairly roughly. The nice thing about this light weight tube is that it's incredibly easy to put back into shape when or if you do put a kink in it, usually just bending back over your knee with not too much presure.
-The Big Burner wicks are also a great thing as they add some needed weight to the ends of the staff which give it a better sense of momentum than other basic fire staffs on the market, enabling longer, smoother palm spins and contact moves too. The chunky nature of these wicks mean that they hold a good amount of fuel and will generally burn for 4-6minutes for me (slower spinning may extend this but I get a bit nippy). The burn offs are impressive and only rivaled or beaten by multi-wick staffs or the noticably more expensive monkey fists.
-The bolts used on the wicks are reassuring as they help to prevent fuel getting into the shaft and once they're secured those burners aren't going anywhere, unlike on some staffs where the burners are simply screwed in on one side. It does make replacing the burners more challenging than screwed in wicks but they last for a long time before you'll even consider doing that (well over 100 burns) and for the sake of added safet and added weight at the ends I think as compromises go it's well worth the effort!
In conclusion then I'd say that if you're just thinking of starting out on staff or don't want to spend too much money then this is more than likely the best standard staff you could hope to have and well worth the money, or if you happen to have a few staffs (like me) then this is worth getting for your collection simply because of how well made it is and thus how nice it is to spin. This is the standard by which I judge all other staffs and with the exception of a few of the pricier Firetoys ones I usually find other makes lacking in comparrison, and that's the only not-really-negative thing about this staff!
