You make some pretty hefty claims that your sticks are the best out
there. I’m a skeptic of the highest degree so I had to prove you
wrong. But darn it! I hate being wrong!
They are superb quality and indeed the best I’ve ever seen and used.

My name is John Wilson I ordered your new
generation of sticks called the Zebra sticks. I just wanted to take
the time like you asked and provide you with feedback on this
item... When I first ordered the item I was a little nervous I
didn't know what to expect. I thought it was going to be like the
pairs I got in the stores that fall apart at the ends or the sticks
are to flimsy. This stick was or is nothing like I thought.
The quality of the sticks are great they are a nice weight not to
light or to heavy that they are hard to spin or flip.. The
colors of the ones I got go great with my Jesters Costume I am
very happy that you guys offer so many colors to go with to...The
tape that you guys put on the Sticks is pretty cool... The grip that
the tape has is excellent for me its taking a little to get use to
because it grips a little more than I am use to having but great for
those people that are just starting out... I just wanted to say
thank you guys for making a great site and also great sticks I think
I found my new home with buying Devil Sticks.... Thank you once
again for the new Sticks they are the best I ever had.

You don’t know how long I’ve been looking for a pair of sticks with
durability like yours. I put my sticks through hell using them for
hours and hours at a time and almost every pair I’ve ever tried
couldn’t take the amount of flower sticking I do. I’ve had some
signature select sticks for months now and they are holding up great.
Thank you for the sticks and they are well worth the money.

It’s been a while since my son received his new devil sticks. When I
first got them for him, I thought, “a lot of money for something we
probably could have walked out and gotten from the woods for free.”
He is 14 years old, a freshman in high school. This year he got involved
with a cirque program at his school. This year he also performed on
stage with his devil sticks. I couldn’t believe how good he had gotten
and how confident he looked on stage. He and a friend practice almost
non-stop. They can toss them back and forth to each other and have come
up with numerous other little “tricks.” And he hasn’t even broken any
lamps or anything in the house! (My original fear when they arrived in
the mail.)
It’s nice to see
him doing something that doesn’t require a joystick!
Thanks.

Dear Devilsticks.org,
I really don’t know what to say about your product--It is wonderful. I
have been looking for a nice set to use in my performances (on the
street during the summer) and these seem to be perfect. The weight is
just a tad heavier than my last pair, but I like it.
All I
really have to say is whatever you are doing, keep doing it.
Much appreciation,
-Ziv N.
As far as sticking goes, yeah I've been doing it for years... started
back in high school with what I now realize was a really crummy set
(very light, cheap construction), but still managed to develop a decent
degree of skill with them. But there's only so far you can go with a
crummy set (mostly in regard to grip), I realize that after using the
sticks you guys made.

Hi guys,
I recently purchased two pairs of your Devil Sticks a zebra set and a
basic set. I've been sticking for a couple years with a set from the
discovery store or somewhere like that. Those needed replacing and
yours seemed to be top notch.
I've put a bit of time in on each set. I've found them both to have
great construction. The basic set is quite light and I think it
will be great for teaching others to stick. The zebra set is really
interesting. The stick is much lighter than I'm used to and a bit
longer. However, it works much better than my old set. The hand sticks
are much lighter than my old set as well. This applies to the zebra and
the basic set as well. I found that to be pleasant after I got used to
it. It allows for longer sessions.
Overall, I'm quite pleased with the purchase. I expect that I'll
order from you again once I get better and feel the need for one of
the higher end sets.
Thanks!

I had been waiting
to respond to this so I could get a feel for how I really feel about the
sticks. Overall I really like them a lot and love the personalization
aspect. However, I am used to working with a much smaller set, which I
was unaware of how awkward that transition could be to a much larger set
and feel, since you personalize your sticks, that you should offer
sizing options on those sticks, as that would really affect any future
purchases. Another point that I find quite annoying is the lack of a
head at the tassels, where you tier the tape in such a way that it is
virtually impossible to catch it with the hand stick unless from a
standstill, and there are many tricks that require this ability. (ALL
OF OUR STICKS ARE NOW MADE WITH THESE TASSELS: Details
HERE) But again, they are
quite good sticks.

I’ve used devil and
flower sticks all my life. What you say in your information section is
totally correct – they are a hybrid of the two, kinda a mix. I love
it! Regular devil sticks (with the tapered ends) are so much heavier
and really require a completely different method of sticking. When
learning them I was very frustrated, but stuck through it. After
becoming proficient with them I found myself going back to other designs
such as yours. I ordered a pair of customized (AWESOME Option)
Premium Design sticks and LOVE them. The rubber handles are incredible;
I always hated how sweaty my hands got after sticking for long periods
of time. I have a bunch of friends who use devil sticks as well and
have converted them all to yours. And it didn’t take much convincing
after they tried mine!
Having a blast, and you’ve gained a repeat customer for life,

Thanks for the
prompt shipping of my order. I will not hesitate to use you again and
will tell my friends about you.
Thanks again,

[In response to
shipping a pair of sticks just in time for the holidays before receiving
the payment in the mail]
Thank you so much for sending the sticks out to me based on faith. My
friend will be very happy and surprised for this gift. Thanks for
helping me make him smile and get them in time for the holidays!

Amazed how fast they got here and more amazed with the sticks.
Thanks,!

I recently ordered 2 sets of your Devil
Sticks and I would like to compliment you on both the web site, which is
very easy to navigate and is a nice looking site, and on the speed in
which the order was processed. I ordered them for birthday gifts but
never really thought they would make it in time. I am happy to say they
did; within the week they were ordered, they arrived. The boys love
them. I am so much happier to see them trying new things with the Devil
sticks than to see them sitting in front of a video game. They don't
seem to realize how much time goes by that they are working with the
sticks. I would definitely consider ordering more sets for upcoming
birthdays; however....I would like to see a sample of some "girly"
looking sticks.
Thank you for your prompt service.

Hi. I just received
the sticks I ordered last weekend, and I'd like to give some feedback.
First, I was very pleased with how quickly I received the sticks. I had
anticipated waiting a few more days and was delighted they came so fast.
Second, my daughter loves them! Her first exposure to devil sticks was
at a SolarFest event in Vermont just last weekend. A performer had
several sets there and she fell in love. We ordered the sticks within
24 hours of our return home - I purchased the kind your site noted were
good for beginners. My daughter has found them easy to use and they are
definitely helping with the skills she started to learn next weekend.
The stick workmanship is lovely. The sticks are nicely balanced and
feel good in the hand. In this age of video games and DVDs, I think
your devil sticks are more than worth the money.
I think your site is nicely laid out. I couldn't believe how many color
choices you have! Took a while longer to order the sticks while my
daughter revisited several of her favorite options, but it's nice to
know she could get what she wanted, rather than settling. I was also
impressed that we could have ordered custom sticks. Who knows - once
my daughter is more adept, another pair may be in her future.
I guess the only other thing I have to add is that a family friend
visited us today and, based on my daughter's "salesmanship", she is now
thinking about ordering two pair for her grandchildren for Christmas.
My daughter is showing off her sticks to everyone she knows- which
means she's as happy with them as I am.
Thanks, and keep up the good work!

Dear DSO Inc.,
I found your website
design and layout very appealing to the eye of the consumer while
searching to purchase devil sticks. You provided a thorough description
of who your company is and what devil sticks are in your FAQ page and
gave your customers a sense of cooperation in listening to their
feedback through mail such as mine. I recently purchased a pair of zebra
sticks from your company. They spin and handle unlike any other devil
sticks I have used. I found your website attractive and reliable
compared to competition such as Lunastix. I am looking forward to
your trick page as well as any future products.
Sincerely,
-Andrew
I bought some Devil Sticks sometime in the last few months as a gift for
my partner this June. The way I found out about you all was I just
googled Devil Sticks.
Overall I think the product is excellent...though I haven't tried them
yet, since I am giving it as a gift. The sticks seem sturdy, and well
put together. They seems to be very evenly balanced, and I
especially like the rubber coating on them. It will surely help my
skills.
I think your site is pretty good, I might want to see a little more
detailed pictures of the products. Though your descriptions were
sufficient, I think people like to see pictures.
You have a great product thanks!
-Chris Vennard
Dude,
You are great. I am
sorry it has taken so long for me to let you know... I love my
sticks. You are awesome. I have been working on this election, and
today are the primaries... I have some time to breathe... What a
wonderful stress relief...
Take care, I will order more soon.

I recently purchased
a pair of “Premium Design” sticks in Dark Red, Red, Yellow and Orange.;
the color combination reminded me of fire. The sticks looked
stunning online and when I pulled them out of the tube after delivery I
was not disappointed, they are stunning. I won’t pretend that I know
anything about the process through which sticks are made, but as a
consumer I can admire good craftsmanship, and I was impressed with the
construction of my sticks. It is plain to see the careful attention to
detail that went into my sticks. The taping, the tassels, the handles
and the main stick are flawless.
I am a novice when
it comes to sticking, I picked it up as a lark in college. Back then I
was thrilled to have mastered the helicopter, I could toss the main
stick into the air and catch it and I could even spin the main stick
around one of the handles; I was happy with my limited ability. I
didn’t own my own sticks at the time, and when I left college I left my
borrowed sticks behind. Several years ago I stumbled across a store
closing and found, much to my surprise, a pair of Lunastix, and over the
years I have added new tricks to my repertoire. The problem was that I
was unable to move beyond my current set of tricks and my sticks were
looking worn. I began searching the internet for new sticks; I
wanted something different, something that might open up a new realm of
sticking to me, and I found your site.
What I found
immediately satisfying about my new sticks was the audible sound they
made. My flower sticks whispered, and it was a real thrill to
actually hear the sticks. I know it sounds silly, but I really like
the added sensory layer. I can now feel the sticks in my hand, see
them twirl around at my touch and hear them as I pass the stick from one
handle to the other.
I have also been
able to add to my level of experience because the sticks are perfectly
balanced. At first I was surprised, and a little concerned, about
the weight of my new sticks, but I found that, after getting a feel for
them, the added weight is a bonus. I have been able to use the extra
weight to get my sticks to do things that I could never do with my
lightweight flower sticks. In addition, the middle tape marker on the
main stick has been incredibly useful. I think that half my
problem with my other sticks was that I was hitting them off center and
hence throwing them off; the middle marker has certainly improved my
aim! Add to all that the sticky tape and I am now adding the propeller
and one handled sticking to my trick list. My only problem now is
getting out of the way of my sticks, I keep hitting my body!
I have been using
my sticks almost daily and impressing most of my neighbors. Several
people have approached me and picked up my sticks to give them a whirl,
once they get hooked, I will certainly recommend your product to them.
I could not be more pleased with my purchase, thank you.
