A 26" hardwood baton would serve anyone well. In the right hands, it can be used to control someone considerably larger in size than the person using the baton.

IDK what use/need the OP's son is trying to meet with a baton.
While straight sticks are nice, the problem is that very often, they are in the unit when you need them. The best thing about the expandable baton is that it is always with you.
On DV calls I would have mine out and concealed (collapsed) until I knew it wasn't needed.
For civilian usage, I don't think that a straight stick is more low profile than a tee-ball bat, and if push came to shove I'd rather have the tee-ball bat. As a civilian I'm not going for joint locks or pressure points with a baton.

Never thwacked anyone with an ASP or similar, but always amazed at the complete lack of effect when watching vids of their use by LE. I'm sure they hurt, but appear of little value with a person who does not care about some pain, at least where LEOs are authorized to strike people with them.

Like anything, you need to practice - it takes me three times as many hits with a hammer to drive the same nail as someone who does it for a living.
Most police officers don't practice enough to ingrain good technique. There components of technique at work - hitting someone with an unlocked wrist and letting the baton bounce, versus hitting them with the intent to drive the baton through the appendage.

Yeah, but they sure hurt like hell when you’re a drunk GI in a bar fight.

It is in vain, sir, to extenuate the matter. Gentlemen may cry, Peace, Peace but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! ... Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!" - Patrick Henry in an address at St. John’s Church, Richmond, Virginia, on March 23, 1775.
I wonder if we need a "Staff of Learning" picture thread?
Hmmmm.....
