An athletic pole including a handle, a shaft, and a handle-to-shaft transition assembly, said transition assembly adapted for allowing the handle to articulate. The transition assembly includes an enlarged shaft base on the shaft, the shaft base including a handle-base- engaging surface. The transition assembly also includes an enlarged handle base on the handle. The handle base and the shaft base are biased together by a tension force into a mating, coaxially aligned position when any bending forces applied to the pole are insufficient to overcome the tension force, the handle being pivotable to an articulated position relative to the shaft upon the application of a predetermined bending force on the pole sufficient to overcome the tension force. During handle articulation, the enlarged dimensions of the handle base and the shaft base allow the periphery of the handle base to travel across and engage the handle-base-engaging surface of the shaft base such that, after an initial range of handle articulation, the bending force necessary to continue articulation or to maintain the handle in a desired articulated position is reduced relative to the bending force that would prevail if the periphery of the handle base were not allowed to travel across the handle-base-engaging surface toward the center of the shaft base.
