Why do flow-wands have a swivel finger loop?

Short-string flow-wands come with a swivelled finger loop – a key feature for wand usability and performance, as the swivel enables you to move freely without having to account for the string twisting up. For the swivel finger loop, we use a custom made tubular webbing carefully looped through itself and melted in to a custom swivel.

How do I Change my wand from a short to long string?

If you are interested in both long- and short string wand, we recommend getting an extra string pack, removing the finger loop, and using a half hitch to add a long loop of string to convert your short string wand to a long string wand. To convert back to short string, you can remove the long string loop and re-install the swivelled finger loop.
