The Threeworlds Fusion Collapsible Dragon Staff is a modular system designed for fire, LED, and daytime spinning without needing three separate staffs. Built around the Threeworlds Fusion pressure-fit system, this three-piece staff breaks down for easy transportation and reassembles into a full-length dragon staff when it’s time to spin.
Choose your staff material, grip, dragon hubs, and spokes to build a setup that suits your spinning style. Bonobo Flow, Threeworlds V3, and Ultra hubs share compatible spoke connections, allowing you to switch between fire, LED, and daytime spokes while keeping the same staff and hubs. Complete Lumi Dragon Heads offer another LED option with their own dedicated hub and spoke system.
Choose Your Dragon Staff Hubs
Each hub system offers a different combination of weight, mounting style, and convenience.
- Bonobo Flow Hubs: Our most budget-friendly option and the heaviest of the three. These two-piece aluminum hubs clamp around the outside of the staff tubing, adding more weight near the ends for increased rotational inertia.
- Threeworlds V3 Hubs: Precision-machined from 7075 aluminum, these removable clamp-style hubs offer a lighter alternative to Bonobo Flow Hubs while maintaining compatibility with the same interchangeable spokes.
- Threeworlds Ultra Hubs: The lightest of the three options, featuring an internal Fusion pressure-fit connection. The complete hub and spoke assembly can be attached or removed with a quick twist, making Ultra Hubs especially convenient for switching between configurations.
Fire, LED & Daytime Spoke Options
Bonobo Flow, V3, and Ultra hubs share compatible spoke connections, allowing you to change between different types of spokes without replacing your hubs.
- Bonobo Flow Fire Spokes: Our 7.5 inch (19 cm) fire spokes feature semi-rigid steel cable construction and replaceable pure Kevlar wicks. Their sturdy design provides a small amount of give to help absorb impacts from drops.
- Lumi LED Spokes: Polycarbonate LED spokes powered by rechargeable Lumi LED Light Units. Compatible with Bonobo Flow, V3, and Ultra hubs, making them a versatile option for switching between fire and LED configurations.
- Spiral Dragon Claws: Polyurethane daytime practice spokes with a distinctive spiral design. Ideal for training, festivals, and environments where fire or LED lighting isn’t necessary.
Complete Lumi LED Dragon Heads
For a different approach to LED dragon staff spinning, the Lumi LED Dragon Heads combine flexible polyurethane hubs with illuminated polycarbonate spokes.
Unlike individual Lumi LED Spokes, which attach to Bonobo Flow, V3, and Ultra hubs, complete Lumi Dragon Heads use their own dedicated hub and spoke system. The assembled heads pressure fit over the outside of the staff ends, allowing you to install or remove the entire LED assembly without changing individual spokes.
This is particularly convenient when paired with Ultra Hubs. You can twist off the complete Ultra hub and spoke assembly, then pressure fit a Lumi Dragon Head over the staff end for a quick change between configurations.
6 or 8 Head Configurations
Bonobo Flow, V3, and Ultra hubs accommodate either 3 or 4 spokes per hub, allowing you to choose between 6-head and 8-head configurations.
A 6-head setup provides a lighter configuration, while 8 heads add weight toward the ends of the staff for greater rotational inertia. Your preferred setup will depend on your experience, spinning style, and desired weight distribution.
Complete Lumi Dragon Heads use a fixed 3-spoke-per-hub design, providing 6 illuminated spokes per staff.
Collapsible Three-Piece Fusion Staff
The Threeworlds Fusion system allows the staff to separate into three sections for easier transportation and storage. Its expanding pressure-fit connectors secure the sections together with a simple twisting motion, creating a stable connection without permanent fasteners through the tubing.
- Travel Friendly: Breaks down into three sections instead of requiring transportation of a full-length staff.
- Material Options: Choose between durable 7075 aluminum and lightweight carbon fiber.
- Grip Options: Available with EPDM, F-Grip, or silicone tubing.
- Modular Construction: Compatible with a wide range of Fusion components and accessories.

Fire Safety & Maintenance
Fire spinning involves inherent risks and requires proper training, safety equipment, and precautions. When using fire components, always inspect your staff, connectors, hubs, spokes, and Kevlar wicks before use. Ensure all components are securely attached, and never spin fire without appropriate safety measures in place.
Before lighting up, please review our Safety Disclaimer, Fire Safety for Flow Arts Guide, and Fire Prop Maintenance Guide for important safety information and care instructions.
One collapsible staff, plenty of ways to spin it. Build around interchangeable fire, LED, and daytime spokes, add dedicated Lumi Dragon Heads for quick LED changeovers, or bring everything if making decisions isn’t really your thing.
Variations
Grip
- EPDM: A synthetic black rubber grip that is durable, padded, and reliable in less-than-ideal conditions. It maintains traction well around sweat, humidity, and dust and tends to become grippier as it breaks in. New EPDM may leave a small amount of black residue on your hands at first, but it washes off easily. It requires little maintenance.
- F-Grip: A textured natural black rubber tube grip that combines some of the best characteristics of EPDM and silicone. It is easy to clean like silicone while maintaining traction better when sweat, moisture, or dirt are involved. It requires no break-in period and provides consistent grip from the start. F-Grip is currently our most popular all-around option and is the heaviest of the standard grips.
- Silicone: High-temperature silicone tubing with a lightly textured surface. It is one of the tackiest options when clean and dry and is also the easiest to clean. A quick wipe with water or rubbing alcohol can restore its tackiness when dirty. Silicone can lose more traction than EPDM or F-Grip when wet or sweaty, so occasional cleaning helps keep it performing consistently.
Not sure which one to choose? Read our Staff Grip Guide for a more detailed comparison of EPDM, F-Grip, silicone, and other common staff grip materials.
Material
- 7075 Aluminum: A high-strength aluminum alloy that is heavier and more budget-friendly than carbon fiber. The additional shaft weight creates a more substantial feel and can make the staff feel more stable while learning. Aluminum is also more tolerant of repeated drops and concentrated pressure from externally mounted dragon staff components.
- Carbon Fiber: Lightweight and strong, making it a popular choice for intermediate and advanced spinners who prefer a lighter, more responsive staff. Reducing the weight of the shaft shifts a greater percentage of the overall weight toward the ends, which can create a more pronounced rotational and contact feel. Carbon fiber is less tolerant of concentrated crushing or clamping forces than aluminum, so we recommend reinforcing the ends with 22 mm Fusion Removable End Caps when using externally mounted dragon staff hubs or heads.

Length
For a dragon staff, a good starting point is generally around chin height. Your preferred length can vary with your height, experience, and spinning style. For end-wick dragon staffs, we generally recommend approximately 4 to 6 inch (10 to 15 cm) longer than chin height.

Hubs
- Bonobo Flow Hubs: Our most budget-friendly option. These two-piece aluminum hubs clamp around the outside of the staff tubing and are the heaviest of the three options. A great choice for spinners who prefer a heavier dragon staff.
- Threeworlds V3 Hubs: Precision-machined from 7075 aluminum, these hubs offer a lighter alternative to Bonobo Flow Hubs while maintaining a secure, removable clamp-style connection.
- Threeworlds Ultra Hubs: The lightest option, featuring an internal Fusion pressure-fit connection that allows the entire hub and spoke assembly to be attached or removed with a quick twist.
All three hub options accommodate 3 or 4 compatible spokes per hub. Bonobo Flow and V3 hubs clamp around the outside of the staff, while Ultra hubs connect internally through the Fusion system.
Heads
- Bonobo Flow Fire Spokes: Semi-rigid steel cable spokes with replaceable pure Kevlar wicks. Compatible with Bonobo Flow, V3, and Ultra hubs.
- Lumi LED Spokes: Rechargeable polycarbonate LED spokes compatible with Bonobo Flow, V3, and Ultra hubs.
- Spiral Dragon Claws: Polyurethane daytime spokes with a distinctive spiral design. Compatible with Bonobo Flow, V3, and Ultra hubs.
- Complete Lumi Dragon Heads: A dedicated polyurethane hub and polycarbonate spoke system that pressure fits over the outside of the staff ends. These heads use their own hub system rather than the interchangeable spoke connections used by Bonobo Flow, V3, and Ultra hubs.
Bonobo Flow, V3, and Ultra hubs support 6-head or 8-head configurations. Complete Lumi Dragon Heads have 3 spokes per hub, providing 6 illuminated spokes per staff.
