I just got my replacement batons from WOW, and these are a new batch, already with some of the changes I suggested. They lock up really well right out of the box. IT takes quite a bit of force to close them. It still is not as strong of a lockup as my ASP lightweight, but that may be because of the "sticky" nature of the Aluminum used in the ASP.
THe center rod seems stiffer as well, though I have not done any conclusive testing (yet).
I have the 16" baton now, and it is a cute little unit. closed it is just 6-1/2" and fits into the back pocket alongside my wallet.
TWG,
If you are reading this, I did not mean to neglect your last post on the other thread, I did not have the batons to measure. the 26" baton is 9-3/4" closed, and the 21" is 8-1/4" IIRC.
YEK
