Title: Walking Tall stick
Post by: K Williams on August 31, 2004, 11:03:51 PM

I just finished watching Walking Tall, and did a websearch on the real sheriff. It seems they are selling his stick. I would hate to get hit by this sucker! :D

Looks like a sledge handle to me. I've played with 'em some, but always found 'em to be too thick and cumbersome, good for committed hits, but forget about finesse.

Axe handles, on the other hand, are all sorts of fun to swing around. Lotsa different striking surfaces, good weight and balance, easy to hold on to, and so on. Like Clint Eastwood said after whuppin' some bad guys with an axe handle in Pale Rider: "There's nothin' like a good piece of hickory."

It reminds me of something the Flintstones might use for a baseball bat!  In any event I am in agreement, I am sure that thing would hurt to get cracked with!
