A good Stick belt
Hey everybody! I'm sure a topic exists for this already but my search turned up really broad results. I'm searching for the ideal Stick belt! I've been using an old luggage strap lately but it's less than ideal. I've seen pictures of Stick players using what looks like a "weight belt" but I'm not 100% sure what kind of belt it is. I'm definitely not an expert on things like this Any input is appreciated

Re: A good Stick belt
I'm sure there are others who will chime in, but I've been using a wide webbed luggage belt with good success. This one is almost too long - I have it adjusted as small as it will go, and it's a perfect fit. Do keep in mind that my pant size is a 38!! However, some scissors and hot glue would probably shorten it just fine.

Re: A good Stick belt
I use a 2" 'quick release' nylon web work belt worn higher than my trousers belt and very loose. The length I have it adjusted to it works fine either sat or stood. Nothing fancy. IIRC it only cost around 10 UKP?

Re: A good Stick belt
That looks nice. Do you have to adjust it when switching between seated/standing?

Re: A good Stick belt
Yep, I use the 511. Version . Bianchi good stuff . Gun belts like these won’t fold.

Re: A good Stick belt
Ive been thinking about it and I might try and get a belt with a click buckle (like a seatbelt) A different kind of luggage strap is tempting too

To each his own, i have a few of them set looser and tighter. Its sturdy and my bloodwood satine stick is pretty heavy. Regards. stick stick stick stick stick stick
