Caning was a common form of judicial punishment and official school discipline in many parts of the world in the 19th and 20th centuries. The impact of the standard rattan cane can be very intense. The Tantus Hurra Cane takes it up a couple of notches with it's extremly bendy and flexible rod, this impact novelty item is for advanced players. The Hurra Cane is a whole different type of impact novelty item. With it's rod at 3/8 diameter and 15 inches of length, the Hurra Cane is flexible and yet very strong. Made in Tantus Silicone, there isn’t a “breaking point” unlike with Rattan. It also transmits energy very effectively and takes very little in terms of strike force. You may also use the Hurra Cane in a whip like fashion. The handle (1.5 by 6 inches) is very effective for blunt impact play and as a potential heavily textured personal massager for internal use. This novelty item is thoroughly cleanable and with a little care, Hurra Cane will last a lifetime.
