    Sprint stick - wild guess - relay baton?

    OP also posted in Cycling and one poster suggested this. A body massage stick. OP hasn't explicitly said if this is what he's looking for. It seems interesting.

    I use a cattle prod to give sprinters an incentive when doing starts and also at the end of endurance intervals. Could it be this?

    Why's it called a sprint stick? Sprinters hardly need it after their hard session of half a dozen flying 60s :pac:

    They need a stick in case they have to go up a hill.

    Are we talking about physio stick????? I think the confusion may be that a certain sprinting group are very fond of using them up in Santry?

    Is it that sprinters need the stick to bate the painfully slow muckers out of their way whilst hammering around the track?
