fiberglass like energy sticks? i've broke around 4 sticks, it always snaps in 2 by the grip. i've broke a similar number of carbon sticks too, though i think they last slightly longer. its all personal preference

I think the energy sticks are a plastic, no? But yeah, they're incredibly flexy and prone to breakage too. Probably much much more so.

long and hard

Ahaha.

But yes, different strokes for different folks, just like diabolos themselves. Which kind is really 'better' will never be solidly decided on.

Are you being serious? You actually find that funny? Its not even in any kind of context. Muppet.

MB Energy sticks are acrylic I think. Or a clear styrene? But my money is on acrylic. Energy sticks break because they are just acrylic whereas the fibreglass sticks are a composite of fibreglass, resin and a plastic outer sleeve. The sleeve is what keeps the stick from just snapping in two and fibreglass splinters everywhere.

i bought a pair of renegade fiberglass sticks a while ago and i must say, abuse, abuse, abuse. that is all i have given them and they are still holding strong. and i like the feel more than the carbon stick. heh.

A few new stick colours are now available new items

The gold is not strictly new, but is now an improved brighter colour.

Greeen...
I'll finally crack when Sundia bring out anodised green xtremes with green grips.

Nice ones, might get a pair, they seem less clunkier than the henry's.

Actually I didn't mean to do that - I didn't realise the shop was auto sending out emails until I got them as well - I stopped it after the first 2 items when I realised. (thought it might annoy people)

Oh ok, would be something interesting to work on though. Maybe a monthly update ?

-Leo- · « **Reply #111 on:** March 15, 2009, 11:27:19 AM »

A monthly update would be a nice thing IMO, as long as it didn't require too much effort.

Sean · « **Reply #112 on:** March 15, 2009, 02:38:59 PM »

Wow, those look sweet. If the devil diaboloed, we know what sticks he would use!

Any idea if the diameter of those sticks matches the Henrys aluminums? Wondering if the red handles would be swapable onto the Henrys.

I'm all for a regular update email too, although I suppose it should be either an opt in list or have an easy unsubsribe option.

I really like the Sundia sticks (got the silver ones myself) and I absolutely prefer them over Henry's carbons.
The red ones look so cool. As do the blue ones.

Eric Moffett · « **Reply #114 on:** March 15, 2009, 11:08:44 PM »

what are the sundia led sticks made of?

William · « **Reply #115 on:** March 16, 2009, 06:36:34 AM »

Happiness and rainbows.

Hathaway · « **Reply #116 on:** March 16, 2009, 08:30:15 AM »

Moffett not sure what it is exactly, but they're pretty bendy. They look really nice but they just bend far to much! (for my liking)

nev · « **Reply #117 on:** March 16, 2009, 09:49:51 AM »

Yeah the LED sticks do bend a fair bit - not quite as bendy as MB Energy but not far off. I guess that's the compromise in keeping the weight down to 90g (same weight as MB Extreme silicone & Henry's Alu).

mellowscholar · « **Reply #118 on:** March 16, 2009, 03:59:21 PM »

How do people find MB extremes compare to Henry's Aluminiums? I've always used Henry's and I love them, except for the string wear/cutting at the tips, I was wondering if extremes are any better for that and how they compare versus Henry's generally.

Can anyone shed any light?

Has anyone tried the "deluxe acrylic handsticks" from jugglingstore?
here's the link: http://www.jugglingstore.com/store/detail.aspx?ID=734
The Stringing system sounds like energies/extremes with the removable end.
