[Blind-rollers] cane handles

[Erica Cole]

 Thanks for the help Maureen. My question now is, what does a putter look like? and how does this make your cane easier to hold? 
I tried to make a handle from an old knee support with velcro straps but messed it up.  My left hand (cane hand) goes tingly quite easily and using a cane is a surefire way to annoy it and make cane swinging a pain! 
Thanks
Erica.
