A telescoping handle having a plurality of telescoping hollow tubes characterized by relative sliding stiffness between each of the tubes and having a similar resistance to rotation, the handle comprising a plurality of stiffeners having an outside diameter sized to fit snugly within an inside diameter of an associated tube. Each stiffener is positioned in an end of the associated tube remaining within an adjacent larger diameter tube when in an extended state. Each stiffener has an axial length at least as long as an overlap length of the associated tube and the adjacent larger diameter tube when in the extended state.
