Ferrules, collars etc.

When ordering ferrules it should be remembered that rubber ferrules will stretch and that metal ferrules should have the end of the stick tapered slightly, so always choose a ferrule slightly smaller than the diameter of your stick.

Rubber ferrules

Several sizes to fit most sticks. These are "bell" shaped with good grips on the base and a metal washer inside to stop the stick wearing through quickly.

Type quantity for each size in the box then click "Add to Cart" button.

If ordering more than one collar but not all engraved, make sure you order the engraving here first then order the collar you want engraving - order any other collars AFTER the engraved one so we can tell from the order form which one is to be engraved. You might also like to put a note on the order form.

Please double check the lettering you have chosen - any spelling or punctuation mistakes cannot be rectified later!
