magic holds the handles on... well that's what the skeptics would say when asked about friction. Anyway, as for what lenght... turn the pole upside down, grab from the top of the basket and cut at a length where your forearm is perpendicular to the floor.

actually i'd go with paralell to the floor, you might as well be holding 40s if they were cut when perpendicular to the floor.

the handle is the same circumference as the pole so it is tight when u put the handle on.....no pun intended
