Core

This refers to the base of the weapon to which padding is affixed. The best things to use are carbon/graphite rods (such as from non-metallic golf clubs), kite spar, bamboo, PVC tubing, or fiberglass. Other materials will be checked for safety on a case-by-case basis.

Metal and wooden cores are prohibited. Metal may be used to counter-weight weapons provided it is permanently attached and not in a place that may inadvertently strike an opponent.

The ends of any cores should have a flat face. Hollow cores should be sealed at the ends. Sharp edges should be blunted so as to not dig into the foam of the weapon tip. Template:V9 Melee Weapon Construction Rules
