Anodized aluminum strips
These chopsticks are sold in pairs and already equipped with a length of string .
Colored diabolo sticks:
This pair of chopsticks has been designed with durable aluminum, polished and anodized to give it its shiny color.
The rubber handle is lightweight and perfectly balanced.
Don't forget that diabolo string wears out! We sell it in reels on our website. The string wears out particularly quickly among beginners who tend to have jerky movements compared to more experienced diabolists who will generally practice more smoothly.
NetJuggler's opinion:
These sticks are some of the best aluminum diabolo sticks.
They are very pleasant to hold in the hands.The thinness of the aluminum makes them excellent for doing slides/grinds, tricks where the diabolo lands on the sticks.
Characteristics of aluminum chopsticks:
- Material: anodized aluminum.
- Length: 32.5cm.
- Weight: 80g.
- String attachment: end of the wand.
- Wire length: 1.6m.
- Twine: Special diabolo string.
For what type of use?
This model is intended for experienced users but it is also a favorite among children for its intense visual appearance as well as its comfort of use thanks to its comfortable and ergonomic handles. They are ideal for doing slides/grinds, a figure where the diabolo remains rotating placed on a stick. In this case, the aluminum sticks will be perfect because the axes and/or between axes of the diabolos slide well on the aluminum.
When practicing a slide/grind, remember to lean the inclination of your wand a little depending on the direction of rotation of your diabolo. This will prevent the diabolo from escaping from your wand!
How to choose your chopsticks?
Whatever your choice of sticks, you will be able to perform almost any trick.
- Beech chopsticks are solid and efficient, they are widely used in schools and associations .
- Aluminum drumsticks are rigid drumsticks, the favorites of beginners because they are thin and therefore excellent for doing slides/grinds which last a very long time. They are also widely used by diabolists who practice intensively.
- Carbon sticks are soft diabolo sticks . They are used to practice with several diabolos in order to better cushion the reception of the diabolos. They offer additional comfort compared to aluminum chopsticks.
- Fiberglass rods are very light . The lighter the sticks, the more you feel the diabolo in the string. On the same principle as carbon sticks, they are slightly flexible for more comfort.
Adjust the string of your diabolo:
When making a diabolo, an important point is the length of the string. The length depends on your height and also your preferences. There is no typical length!
That said, generally with children we put a total length of string that goes from the foot to the shoulder . For teenagers/adults, we put a slightly shorter length going from the foot to the armpit.
To find the length you prefer, try several times and, as soon as you feel you like it, keep it!
Strength of aluminum:
If you do chopstick drops and smash your chopsticks against the ground. It is good to know that aluminum is a flexible metal that can bend. If you want to rough up your chopsticks, NetJuggler advises you to go for fiberglass or carbon chopsticks. Note that the sticks can only bend if they hit the floor or walls, which is linked to improper use and not covered by the manufacturer's warranty!
Which are the best baguettes between superglass and these?
This is the one
Hello! 🌟
Thank you for your question regarding Anodized Aluminum Rods !
To answer your request for a comparison with Superglass , here are some things to consider:
1. Material:
- The Anodized Aluminum Sticks are made of anodized aluminum, which gives them strength while remaining lightweight (80g) and well balanced. They are ideal for slides/grinds because the diabolo glides perfectly on the aluminum.
- Superglass rods are generally more flexible and lightweight , which can provide additional comfort during practice, especially for users who want to cushion the landing . With frequent slides/grinds, the surface of fiberglass rods will wear down , whereas aluminum rods will wear down less.
2. Use:
- Anodized aluminum sticks are often preferred by those looking to perform more technical and precise tricks .
- Superglass , on the other hand, is perfect for diabolists looking for maximum comfort during long sessions.
3. Solidity:
- As I mentioned, aluminum chopsticks can warp if dropped or mistreated.
- If you regularly practice dropping the sticks, Superglass may be more suitable due to its flexibility and strength .
Don't hesitate if you have any other questions or need additional advice! 🎪
Hello, is it possible to buy just the foam for these baguettes? Thank you.
Sorry, no manufacturer supplies us with foams other than drumsticks. If you have a problem with a foam and your drumsticks are still under warranty, please contact us. Our contact information is at the top of the site. Have a nice day.
Are the handles the same as on the super glass fiberglass model?
Yes, the handles used are the same as those on Superglass sticks. They are made of EVA foam, a material known for its lightweight properties and ability to provide good balance to the sticks. This foam offers several advantages, including: Comfort of use: EVA foam is soft to the touch, reducing hand fatigue and allowing prolonged use without discomfort. Lightness: It contributes to the overall lightness of the sticks, making movements easier and less restrictive on the wrists and arms, ideal for extended performances or learning new tricks. Shock Absorption: EVA foam has excellent shock absorption properties, which is particularly useful for reducing impacts when handling sticks and diabolo, thus protecting hands during intensive practice. Durability: This material is resistant to cracks and tears, thus ensuring a long life for the handles despite regular and sometimes intensive use. Grip: The texture of the EVA foam ensures a good grip, which is crucial for maintaining control of the diabolo in various conditions, including when hands are sweaty. Combining these features with diabolo handsticks not only optimizes performance and comfort, but also contributes to the precision and fluidity of movement, essential for perfecting and executing complex tricks.
Does the color fade with time and use?
Yes, the color may fade in places: If the rods are subjected to a lot of friction, the color can actually fade or disappear over time. Anodizing improves aluminum's resistance to corrosion and wear, and adds color to the metal through an electrochemical process. However, although anodizing makes the aluminum surface harder and more durable, it is not completely immune to physical wear and tear. Repeated rubbing can wear away the anodized layer, causing the color to fade and, in extreme cases, disappear altogether.
Does the color/anodization tend to fade with use?
do the chopsticks come with string
The sticks come with a length of string already assembled. You will just have to adjust the length of the string. I advise you to buy a spool or a bag of string at the same time because the string wears out and this will save you from paying shipping fees to order string right after!
FYI, on every product page of our site, the packaging is indicated just below the item photos. In this case, on this page, it says: "These chopsticks are sold as a pair and already come with a length of string."
Good morning,
Are these chopsticks as stiff as Henry's chopsticks? Are they likely to bend if used regularly?
They are as rigid as Henrys sticks. However, if you drop them a lot, it's possible to bend them by hitting them against the floor or walls; they're made of aluminum. Just like Henrys sticks can bend.
