I see a lot of folks who are excessively fat: struggling to walk along, being assisted by others and using automechanical devices for support. The extra meat there is obviously useless. So what good a stick of size 13.5" if it does not stand straight (will not for sure because of the gravity). Let us talk about sizes in the range 5" to maybe 9" and find some folks who want to be test-bed for the match we are going to perform.
