Dowel & Standard Elastic Handle
4" long with an elastic loop
Features:  
One of the two most popular handle styles. Great pom for kids. The strap can be removed if desired. Good for clapping routines; pom stays around wrist instead of dropping to the floor. Handle is easy to find. Not recommended for use with flips, cartwheels, handstands, etc.

Baton Handle
2 1/2" stick in center of pom.
Features:
 Produces a pom with a round and ball-like appearance. Handle disappears. Excellent for tossing routines. One of the two most popular handle choices. Some customers prefer the show handle in place of the Baton, however, because with use a baton handle pom tends to become crushed in the center where it is gripped.

Show & K Handle
2 1/2" dowel with elastic loop.
Features:
 When pom is fully fluffed this handle becomes practically hidden producing a fully rounded effect. A good alternative to the Baton Handle as it prevents the center from becoming crushed over time. Handle is short and therefore, more difficult to find than the dowel.

Crown & Block Handle
Plastic loop across the top (like a suitcase handle)
 Features:
 Handle is easy to find and great for bullseye or target styles. Easy to grip. Recommended for poms 6" or longer. Classic style. Not recommended for tossing, or use with flips, cartwheels, etc.

Loop & Standard Handle
4" dowel with plastic loops on opposite sides of dowel.
Features:
 Handle great for bullseye or target styles. Recommended for poms 6" or longer. Classic style. Not recommended for tossing routines. Handle is visible and easy to find. Some customers say handle is "clumsy"

The most popular handle styles are:
1. Baton
2. Dowel
