The Threeworlds Fusion V3 Dragon Staff Hubs are one of the most versatile dragon staff hub systems available. Unlike Fusion hubs that require a dedicated pressure-fit connection, V3 Hubs clamp directly around the outside of a 22mm (7/8″) staff tube. This allows them to be installed on compatible dragon staffs and contact staffs without permanently modifying the pole.

Each hub can hold either 3 or 4 spokes, giving you a 6 or 8 spoke dragon staff when using a pair. The same hubs can also be used with compatible fire, daytime, and LED spokes, making the V3 a great choice if you want one hub system that can handle multiple types of flow.

Key Features

  • 6 or 8 Spoke Configurations: Each hub accepts either 3 or 4 spokes, allowing you to build a full dragon staff with 6 or 8 spokes.
  • 7075 Aluminum Construction: Made from high-strength aluminum for a durable hub that can handle the inevitable drops that come with dragon staff.
  • Clamp-On Design: Attaches around the outside of compatible staff tubing rather than requiring a dedicated Fusion pressure-fit connector.
  • Contact Staff Compatible: Can be installed on compatible Threeworlds contact staffs, allowing one staff to convert between contact and dragon configurations.
  • 19mm Adaptable: Designed for 22mm OD tubing but can also be installed on compatible 19mm OD staffs using V3 Hub Spacers.
  • Multiple Spoke Options: Compatible with Threeworlds and Bonobo Flow fire spokes, Spiral Dragon Claws, and Lumi LED Spokes designed for V3 and Ultra Hubs.
  • 3mm Hardware: Hub and spoke hardware can be tightened using a 3mm Allen key.

V3 vs. Ultra Hubs

V3 and Ultra Hubs both accept 3 or 4 compatible spokes per hub, but they attach to the staff differently. V3 Hubs clamp directly around the pole, while Ultra Hubs use the Fusion pressure-fit system and can be installed or removed in seconds with a twist.

Ultra Hubs are lighter and much faster to remove, but V3 Hubs offer greater compatibility. They can be mounted to compatible contact staffs and adapted to 19mm OD poles, neither of which can be done with Ultra Hubs. V3 Hubs are also slightly heavier, which some dragon staff spinners prefer for the additional weight toward the ends. If your flow involves lots of quick roll-direction changes, you may also prefer the more planted feel of the V3 setup.

Protect Your Staff Tube

When installing V3 Hubs on hollow staff tubing, we recommend using compatible end caps inside the tube where the hubs clamp down. These reinforce the tubing and help protect it from the pressure created by tightening the hubs.

Optional Add-Ons

If maximum convenience is your priority, the Fusion Ultra Hubs are hard to beat. If you want maximum compatibility and the freedom to turn compatible contact staffs into dragon staffs, the V3 Hubs are still the Swiss Army knife of the Fusion hub lineup.

Flow toys are props and tools used in flow arts, which is a movement based art-form that involves object manipulation. Flow props are extensions of your body and tools for self expression.

Despite being called “toys”, flow toys are meant for everyone and you will find that a majority of flow artists are actually adults! Contemporary flow arts include many modalities like dance, martial arts, or just “free-flow.”

The best flow toy to start with is the one that you’re most excited to learn. Although some props might be more difficult to learn than others, this differs greatly from one person to another. We found that the more excited you are to learn a specific prop, the more likely you will be to practice and learn quickly.

Stick props like dragon staff, contact staff, or spin staff can be easier for some since its a more static prop that you can hold onto. Rope props like poi and rope dart require more plane control at the beginning but are also much easier to travel with. Others like flow stars and pixel whips have their own kind of movements that don’t really fall into the other two categories we mentioned. But they’re super popular for ravers and festival goers!

We have a feeling you’ll end up owning more than one type of prop though so regardless of what your friend thinks is the best flow toy to start with, just get whatever you’re most excited to learn!

Fire dancing carries some inherent risks, but if you follow all of our fire safety instructions the risks are very avoidable. We recommend feeling super comfortable with a flow toy before lighting it on fire for the first time.

If you’re new to flow arts, we also recommend getting a daytime practice prop (or even LED prop) since you might be dropping your flow toy a lot when you’re first learning. The Kevlar on fire props can deteriorate much more quickly from repetitive drops, so practice props are ideal to keep them safe.

We have fire, LED, and daytime versions of most of our main props. Even if you can only afford one version and end up starting with a fire prop, they can be protected with wick covers. No matter what type you have, we recommend practicing on soft ground like grass to protect them as much as possible.

After you read the fire safety guide linked above and before lighting up you fire tool, please also read through our safety disclaimer.

We ship our products Monday-Friday from Los Angeles, CA, USA. Many of our listed products are ready-to-ship unless we have to assemble them, which can add a day or two to process. That being said, we ship out orders in the order they are placed within 1-2 business days (with some exceptions like holiday seasons). 

Once shipped, we use USPS for orders in the USA and usually UPS for all international orders. Ground shipping in the US usually takes about 3-5 business days from shipping date, while priority shipping can be between 1-3 business days from shipping date. These are estimations and not guarantees as USPS might have delays, but reach out to us if you are looking for more specific time frames!

We can’t promise any specific shipping timeframes for international delivery as customs can cause many unforeseen delays.

Of course! We’re just a text, email, or DM away from being able to answer any question you have. All of our contact details can be found here or you can scroll down to find the buttons in our footer. We’re active on social media too so we are pretty easy to get a hold of!
