Hokey Cokey...thought I'd post in here rather than cluttering up the tricks thread.
My stick is getting severaly battered now, it's one of those moreballsthanmost ones with the holographic plastic/foil covering. It's all start to flake with the results being that my hand sticks don't grip it very well anymore. Does anyone know where I can find some similar material, or haev any suggestions of any other good covering material?

Hi Nath
The covering stuff is quite hard to get hold of and even harder to put on! My plan is to strip mine and paint it, the grip is not quite as good but still works well. You can try that, i intend to use some fluro colours so it'll be nice and pretty!

Huh? It's just Circus tape available from any circus/stoner/fancydress shop. I have found that thickly wound duct tape is even better though.
But that's just me.

Okay with your sticks goin bad, try using a bicycle innertube. Mine is made from that, it has great grip and its pretty damn durable. Just slash the innertube cut it into two or however many pieces and wind it around the sticks.

oooh lots of suggestions... eexxxcceellent
tennis, it's got tape on it at the ends but the main shaft is covered in a green holographic plasticy foil. Not tried looking too hard for it yet as I've been too busy. I'm gonna buy myself a new one anyway, so I might experiment with different coverings on my old one.
I like the innertube idea...which reminds me. Has anyone got a stick they can play with in the wet? As soon as mine gets a bit of moisture on it just loses grip and becomes exasperating to play with.
....anyway, I'd better go to work now.

When the main shaft gets moist you just have to be extra careful. Ha Ha
I personally don't like the idea of rubber on the main shaft it get's in the way...ok i'll stop now

The wet devil stick thing apparently works if you use tennis grip on the devilstick. Never seen it but have been told it works is an idea anyway.

it doesn't sorry. I tried it and ruined the devil
Practice indoors and just try really hard not to break stuff.
Without sounding wierd it actually helps cos you get used to being really fast and in control.
My reflexes have become lightning since i broke our new video player.

I've been inspired to give devil sticks a lash since I was in London, they look fantastic.
I'm not sure what to buy though, I was thinking about buying the more expensive ones in the HOP shop but I'm not sure what I should buy.
Like there's the 2 different shapes. I don't know if one is easier or if one of them may become limiting if I ever get better. Just don't like spending money unless I know what I'm doing.
Anyone have any advice?

A company called 'Absolute'make a nice budget holographic stick, looks well flashy, handles OK, retails about £15 including handsticks.
p.s. don't be tempted to skimp a couple quid by getting rubber covered handsticks, the silicon ones are far better.
For outdoors/in the wet A.J.A make a cloth covered stick but it's about £26.
Butterfinger stock both the above.
