.Latest update November 27, 2011

What's the difference?
The Material - usually wood or metal. The more suitable woods are strong yet yielding - preventing undue jarring on the hand and arm
The Style - From elegant to rustic. The sticks can be very beautiful or very unusual, and besides being functional, many have become collectibles.

If your stick falls to the ground will you be able to pick it up easily?
Use a convenient Wrist Strap - can be attached to any stick

The Use - A companion on a stroll, support on a hike, or as a genuine walk aid; collapsible for travelling.
The Length - Adjustable length, or the stick may be cut to size. Standard length is 914mm (36 inches).
The Handle
The traditional Crook handle is comfortable to walk with and steady yourself if you stumble, and it is easy to hang up when not in use. It is strongest when the handle is all one piece with the shaft.

The Knob handle may be more
elegant and decorative.
The Y-handle as in the thumbstick is wonderful to lean on and catch your breath.
The Crutch handle is more suitable for somebody who really has to lean on the stick, as it helps spread the pressure on the hand, and the modern
“Derby” crutch, invented by Lord Derby in England, hangs easily on arm, rail or table.
It comes in different styles. Melbourne crutch is very similar.

Choosing your stick

Length - the suggested correct length is just above the top of the thigh bone - which allows the hips and the shoulders to be level when the stick is placed fairly close to the body and pressure is exerted.
When standing with your arms hanging loosely at your sides, in your usual shoes, measure from the floor to your wrist.

COMFORT STICKS

ECONOMICAL "HIT" STICKS

The shaft of the stick is made from hard woods –Saligna wood shaft, extra long. The stick is fitted with
a moulded crutch handle for comfort and added support.

This “Comfort” grip is ideal
for the person who needs
to put weight on the stick,
either through infirmity or inadvertently when out walking.

Made in South Africa
- for economy

Length 92 cm
All metal, matt black
94-HitStickM R169.50

94-HitStickW R139.50

Length up to110cm

The shape of the grip distributes the pressure
over the whole hand (with no pressure points)
and the hand cannot slide over the top.
It can also hang on the arm, pocket or table edge.

The HIT and Comfort sticks
have the advantage of being slightly longer
than the standard imported sticks
– and if necessary can easily be cut
to your preferred length.
