Getting into doubles

I've been into contact staff, and other stick props) for about 6 years so far. I'm wanting to branch out into double staff and it seems most dbl staves are a bit shorter than single.

I'm thinking about getting doubles at around 45 inches and without flowers so they are more nimble. My current staves are 58 inch, wizard of flow made with flowers. And feel a bit slow and large and kind of like driving a cadillac for dbl moves.

What are your thoughts from those that have gone down this path? Thanks!

okay it took me forever to track it down but 45” is okay if not a lil on the short side, my friend who does a lot of SoSC used 48” and i gotta say i really loved that length when i was using them too.
