The basic Teardrop shape is a
classic design that has withstood the test of time. It is suitable for
almost any hand size and is ergonomically shaped for comfort, balance
and control. An average Teardrop shape is about 2 ¼ inches long
and about 7/8 inches at its widest diameter. |
 |
The Narrow Teardrop is more
slender than the classic teardrop and usually a little bit longer. An
average Narrow Teardrop shape is about 2 ½ inches long and about
¾ inches at its widest diameter. |
 |
The Pear shape is similar to
the basic teardrop, but is a little shorter and more round. An average
Pear shape is about 2 inches long and about 7/8 inches at its widest
diameter. |
 |
The Bulb shape is the shortest,
most round handle design. An average Bulb shape is about 1 ¾ inches
long and about ¾ inches at its widest diameter. This handle is
best matched with a graphite or wood shaft. If you choose a fiberglass shaft,
the maximum length this handle can properly balance is about 14". |
 |
The Tapered Cone is usually about
the same length as the teardrop and can range from a quite slender shape
(½-inch diameter) to a much thicker handle diameter (7/8-inch). |
 |
The Maestro design provides a
comfortable, secure grip. By design, it is a little longer than most other
handle shapes. An average Maestro shape is about 2 ½ inches long and
about 7/8 inches at its widest diameter. The extra grip portion of the baton
is usually about ½ inches but can be made smaller or larger depending
on the preference of the conductor. |
