Starline (SR16) Starlet II 16" Mini Shaft Baton

The Starline SR16 Starlet II 16" Mini Shaft Baton is the trainer’s favorite tool for introducing baton work to beginners. Its compact 16" length offers confident control without overwhelming small hands, making it ideal for classrooms, dance studios, and practice spaces where consistent technique matters most.

• Three shaft thickness options: choose the feel that matches your technique and grip — 3/8" standard for balanced weight, 7/16" thicker for extra leverage and stability, or 5/16" skinny for quicker transitions and lighter handling. This flexibility helps instructors tailor each student’s experience as skills develop.
• Durable powder-coated finish: a rugged coating built to resist scuffs, sweat, and daily classroom wear, so the baton stays looking and feeling predictable session after session.
• Custom wraps available: personalize grip, color, or team branding with our wrap options. A great way to improve grip security and give students a tangible sense of ownership.
• Class-ready design: widely favored by coaches for its reliable balance and consistent performance across a group, supporting progressive drills from basic spins to more advanced sequences.
• Versatile use cases: perfect for warm-ups, rhythm drills, partner routines, and routine practice. Suitable for beginners building fundamentals as well as programs pacing students toward intermediate work.

Who benefits most: baton instructors, school programs, community centers, drill teams, and individual students who want a durable, adaptable baton that grows with their skills. The SR16 isn’t a one-size-fits-all tool—it’s a thoughtfully configurable baton designed to match a student’s hand size, control needs, and progression. When you select the appropriate shaft thickness and optional wrap, you equip learners with a precise, comfortable instrument that supports clean technique and confident performance.

Why this model stands out: instead of a single-geometry baton, the Starlet II SR16 offers choice at purchase. The combination of 16" length, multiple shaft options, and wrap customization means you can support a diverse class with one efficient solution, reducing the need for multiple guards or replacements as students advance. If you’re seeking a beginner-friendly baton that still scales with technique, the SR16 delivers measurable, real-world benefits from the first drill.
