How functional would a quick release be on a saber staff in a dual. Is it pretty sturdy and will I have to worry with an unwanted seperation.

I have one on my main staff. It's sturdy. The two hilts to rotate, but it's nothing you don't notice in a fight. If anything it's actually not the easiest thing to disconnect mid fight, and even less so to reconnect. I've had one accidental disconnect, mid swing my opponent hit my hilt, and sent one of them flying. That's 1 time in over 200 fights with it now, so I think it was a bit of a fluke. Can been see in this video about 30 seconds in. I recommend it so you can switch back and froth from staff to dual wield between fights without a headache, but in fight it's not the most practical thing. Possible, but not practical.

I am by no means a pro with it, but it is sturdy enough to use. I haven't had it separate without permission yet, but I also don't duel a whole lot. People like Darth Cephalus, RyanG83Jkd, and I think Samhain138 all use it and have gotten very good with it. I would talk to them and see what they think. |

I must agree with Taegin Roan. |

I'm surprised there's documented evidence of it happening accidentally  It's a quick disconnect in the sense that you don't have to take a couple minutes unscrewing a coupler to get two sabers. It's not a quick disconnect in the sense that you can easily disconnect it in mid combat without your opponent noticing. The sabers do rotate, as Mimiaga said, though I think he should have said "it's not something you do notice in a fight" or "it's something you don't notice in a fight." It works fine for combat, the only issue I have with it is one of personal taste. I prefer that the pommels on my sabers be the same diameter as the saber hilt, and one side of the disconnect (necessarily) isn't. Again, it works great, that's just a personal perference thing on my end. |

You only live once. Wrong.
You only die once. You live every moment of your life.
The question is, are you alive, and living your life? Or just here, and watching your life go by?
------------------------------------------------------------------
I am the bone of my sword
Steel is my body and fire is my blood
I have created over a thousand blades
Unknown to death
Nor known to life
Have withstood pain to create many weapons
Yet those hands will never hold anything
So, as I pray, Unlimited Blade Works.

Th was my first time out with it too, crazy odds. And yes, poorly worded. The rotation isn't noticed in combat. |

This is about my only issue with it. Other than that, I love it. |

Thank you all for the info I will pick one up and see how it treats me. This will be my first time training with a saber staff.

Cool. It makes sense since in star Wars Legends, a Sith would seperate the two blades during combat to surprises their enemy, such as kas'im did with Darth Bane during their duel on Lehon.

I use the QRC for sparring from time to time. When I first got it, I didn't tell anyone and surprised my sparring partner. I"d suggest mastering the disconnect before just going in. Disconnection = very very easy. Reconnect during combat = difficult.
Typically you have to create some space to reconnect....that being said, I prefer two sabers over the saber staff personally.

Awesome! My girlfriend pulled off the quick disconnect in a sparring match. The other fighter was really confused, and he actually got hit with it. |
