The thing with the batons is that is supposed to take out the enemy quickly.One baton to block.The other to stike ( and fire the killing shot) while quickly using her semblance to block any in coming stike that may come in between.It's a very Rhythm based sytle.

I got the idea for it when watching Oliver and Roy (Arrow) training.Its supposed to be a faster more graceful verison of the sytle they used.

Hope this explains it better.

BTW Oliver is the only member of the team whos weapons retract.The rest pretty much stay in active form ( I seriously doubt the weapon have a inactive form in RWBY)
