thank you for the fast reply... the staff will be tossed, juggled, body rolled, and used as a pole vault. strength to weight ratio is the correct term? so lets say i have 2 poles. both 1600mm in length, both have a 23mm OD, and both have the same exact weight. which one will be the first...
which metal has the better strength to weight ratio, i have heard many conflicting ideas. i am trying to build staffs for circus/juggling use. i want the lightest and strongest metal tube possible, so far i am looking at grade 9 titanium and 7075 aluminum, any thoughts?
