Seán hammered out an in depth review/preview of the new Mister Babache aluminum and carbon sticks.
Would love to get my hands on a pair of those aluminums. The possibility for free-spinning knots is a plus. Not sold on the curvy foam handles, but I’ll hold my judgement until I’ve tried them.

After his experience on Norske Talenter (Norwegian Talents), Aaro put together an excellent post on performing with the Gora kit for Finesse diabolos, and even fire diabolos in general.
I was using normal string, but I think it is a good idea to change the string quite often, as it will get worn/melted a bit every time you juggle. Always have spare sticks around, and someone on the side of the stage that your diabolo is spinning towards. This person should also have a fire extinguisher or similar to take care of any nasty surprises. I had a luxury of having a trained stunt man on stage with me, but any person with hands and some basic understanding of fire should do…

I’ve heard your requests. This year we’re finally doing it — a gear survey that covers diabolos, sticks, string, experience, and geographic location. A survey so detailed that you can pick the generation of your gear and even your preferred grip type.
It only takes a few minutes to fill out and the data should allow the first detailed global analysis of diabolo gear preferences.
So, go fill it out… now! [We've gathered enough responses. The survey is closed for 2010.]
