A couple of years ago, I started experimenting with different materials to create juggling sticks that would better meet the needs of movement and durability. Through this process, I also realized that the handle design was just as important as the materials themselves. From the beginning, I knew I wanted a wider handle for several reasons, which I\u2019ve confirmed through practice. Now, after several tests and improvements, I have new versions that I want to share.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First, a larger diameter makes the sticks more visible on stage<\/strong>, which is essential for performances. I\u2019ve also noticed that throws feel more stable<\/strong>, and the trajectory of releases is more controlled, especially in my style of play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regarding weight, while many people prefer lighter sticks, my slower-paced style means that I don\u2019t mind working with sticks weighing between 90 and 120 grams per pair<\/strong>. In fact, this extra weight gives them more presence in the air and helps me feel the movement better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One thing I didn\u2019t expect is that, after getting used to a thicker grip<\/strong>, I\u2019ve experienced less muscle fatigue<\/strong>. Instead of keeping my hands tightly closed, the wider handle allows for a more natural and ergonomic grip, making long sessions more comfortable and reducing strain over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These are some of the reasons why I\u2019ve chosen this design, and so far, the results have been very positive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
