The HIGHEST quality bolos on the market are made by Ladder Golf which has the patent on the game. I would highly recommend them to anyone and wouldn't personally use anything else bolo wise if I wanted pure quality. Here's a picture of the rivet design that they use to set the rope in the bolo. They DON'T drill all of the way through the bolo like some others do (which looks cheap). |

As stated above: "As for the rungs, 1" is commonly used too to make this set, so no, I don't think it is too big."

sorry i didnt see that response! Im doing 1" rungs with 1 1/2 inch base, seems a lot more sturdier. Im also using colored duck tape around the rungs to make them different colors, im going with green, blue and white

I like your colored duct tape idea. Now that's what I call unique!

In addition to colored duct tape, Colored electrical tape is also available. I like that idea.

That is true.
Electrical tape only cost's about $.50 a roll, And duct tape is about $3.50 a roll. If you can use the excess off a roll for another project, Then cost really doesn't matter as much.

$2.29 at walmart for a 15 yard roll of duct tape. I can easily see that you may use a whole roll of electrical tape for each rung, while in the case of the duct tape, I'm using VERY little

For anyone considering wrapping the rungs in duct tape, I offer this piece of advice... don't do it. You will completely remove any challenge from the game. The PVC rungs are slippery and give very little resistance to the bola ropes. The result is bolas spinning smoothly around the rungs. If you put anything over the PVc, even paint, you might as well just use velcro because the bolas are just going to stick when they hit.
My two cents!
