Every brand of escrima/arnis stick I've bought have all started to splinter out after some decent amount of contact drills.
Does anyone have suggestions for a set of sticks that won't start to splinter out and can hold up to lots of single and double stick drills?

Cocobolo Escrima/Arnis sticks. Its density and hardness is very difficult to doubt it across the board. Cocobolo is a very heavy, tough and strong wood. Cocobolo is so dense that it will sink in water if you drop it in a swimming pool, not that you'll drop it in the pool, but if you do, it'll be resistant to water.
My first exposure to Cocobolo was when I bought a nunchaku made from Cocobolo; I wanted to break cinder blocks with them to demonstrate the power of the nunchaku and not the Cocobolo. After that, I made sure that my wooden weapons were made of Cocobolo.
You'll splinter before the Cocobolo does.

I use cheap ones, but they have lasted years even with constant partner work.
But I have also use Kamagong Wood; which is a hardwood and apparently is one of the strongest. |
