This new training baton is a game-changer for trainers and agencies looking to improve their overall training experience. Blue Shield Training Baton baton is made of a durable plastic polymer and weighs in at approximately 6 ounces, and is approximately 9 inches when closed and 22 inches in length when fully extended. We've personally tested this baton on training bags with full power strikes with no problems extending or coming apart. Blue Shield used this product in our baton training and in scenario-based training as well, and the feedback from the students has always been positive.
