Uni Joust Shields and Poles

General
1

Any one have advice for making Shields and Poles cheap but still be “safe” for jousting?

2

take broomstick handel, cut a slit in a tennis ball, put the ball on one end. Or, use a swimming nooodle with a stick in it to keep it straight. sheild, you can just use a trash can lid.

3

the most perfect is to take the pool noodle broom stick way.
this is sorta what it should look like, the pool noodle wrapped around the stick but with about a foot at the end with only pool noodle, and a foot at the other end with just stick so that its easy to hold.

Is it not traditional to use a dustbin lid for the shield? This is serious stuff, you just cannot take things upon yourself to be different. Some things are sacred, and not to be messed with.
Jousting without a bin lid on your arm would be as irreverent as unicycling with two wheels on the ground.

so what your saying is be 100% unique

What I am saying is that if I don’t find something safer than a wooden dowel with a tennis ball on the end and a dustbin lid my parents won’t let me joust.

I made the pool noodle/broomstick combo the other day. Me and a friend could hit each other with one pretty much as hard as we could and you couldn’t feel a thing. If that’s not good enough for your parents, I don’t know what would be.

Uni jousting is very fun.
