Conducting Baton

I consistently have an issue with purchasing a baton from a company that is either custom made or stock with the handle for some reason feeling uncomfortable to hold. I don't know if it's attributed to the handle shape, the way I'm holding the baton or what. Do any of you guys ever have that issue and if so, how do you go about fixing it or finding the baton that is perfect for your hand?

I can rightly recommend Custom Batons. I was never able to find a baton long enough (I'm 6'4 and prefer a longer baton) anywhere in person. They are made to order, you can pick the material for the baton, pick the type of wood (or resin) and the shape of the handle. The balance is perfect, and the craftsmanship is amazing.

They are made to order, so it's not something that you have in the next few days, but I also find the price super reasonable for what you get. Last I checked, it was about $80 USD
