Devil Stixx (Tm) Devil Sticks

I used to play with devil's sticks in the 90's, when I made them from wooden dowels, bicycle inner tube rubber, and colored electrical tape. They were fairly heavy and the amount of friction depended on how tightly you wrapped them.Newer ones tend to be lighter, with a piece of silicone tube sleeved over a rigid tube core. They have much higher friction and are probably easier to start with.These have the weight and comparatively lower friction I prefer. They have the added feature of the wooden core of the baton being a slender hourglass-shape, so the weight increases gradually toward the ends, for a fun dynamic to explore. They're durable and well put-together. And of course the nostalgia trip is part of my appreciation.One thing I might suggest to the maker is to make the wands and batons available separately as well as together, as inevitably something will be broken or lost eventually by some users.

These are probably the best sticks I've owned. They have enough weight for fast spins but are light enough to change direction quickly. The only thing I don't like is the black residue from the hand sticks. Well-made, durable, and very fun.For beginners, I recommend flower sticks because they have tassles on the end that allow for slower spins so you can learn the basics more easily. Those get boring eventually and you'll want to pick up a set of these.

It was heavier than I wanted. The return process was easy peasy. Thank you!!!!

When they first arrived I sort of panicked because they were sticky and I was afraid they had melted in the heat. Turns out they are supposed to be that way to make them a little slower. I hadn't ever used this type before and my only experience with flower sticks was for a few minutes in elementary school. They were extremely difficult to learn on but that's my fault, not the stick's. They work exactly how they say they do, a little hard to balance but once you get the hang of them there are no limits.

They are very good but I am still looking for the kind-style I bought from Jugglebug 30 years ago. Quality is very good and they are great for beginners to mid skill level.

I ordered these because i had fun playing with one of my friends "flower sticks." I bought these, and in a matter of hours after their arrival, i was actually pretty good. They are well balanced, and they have good grip. Not the BEST to start out with. If youre beginning, i do suggest flower sticks. Theyre easier. But if you know how to use them, i think you will be happy with these. I am.

So for starters they came covered in just bits of crud and looked like they had already been used before. You're James gets sweaty really fast holding on to the rubber handles. The stixx grip is ok at best but that doesn't matter because the thing is ribbed and make it very easy for you to drop the stick because it just rolls right off, not to mention that it hardly has any weight and you can lose control easily. In short dont buy these they suck.

I normally don't do reviews, but I would highly recommend these sticks. These sticks are actually my first set and I enjoy them. They are pretty heavy which makes them challenging... but if you dedicate a little time, you'll be able to learn a couple of tricks like levitation and tick-tock. Remember to be very gentle with them. I was hitting the main stick a little too hard and ended up breaking one of my smaller sticks.Also, the delivery was really fast. I was expecting the sticks to show up a week later but it took two days for me. caught me by surprise. (:UPDATE:I contacted the seller about my broken stick and they offered to give me a pair for free!!! The sellers are quite nice and funny too... I got a laugh at reading their reply.
