Ok so i have another newbie question. When you guys practice, do you use a new set of sticks each time. Cause i have been practicing with some ones that i used like a week ago and they don't glow anymore, so i practice with them....

i use non glowing ones to practice man it would just be a waste of money if you would crack glow sticks to practice so just keep using those until your next performance and then switch them

Yeah, I use dead sticks until they break. I've been covered in the fluid more than I would have cared for. I also have a sick bruise on the inside of my arm from one busting off while throwing an orbital. They pop off after a while.

But yeah, it's totally a waste of cash to keep cracking new sticks. I normally wait until I learn a few new things then take a gander at how they look with a glow.

I LOVE my oggpoi big time cause they can glow whenever I practice...but they feel different and spin different than sticks...

Honestly, I spin poi for practice pretty much all the time these days. However, when I was starting off, I always used dead sticks as a practice set. Saves money and has the same weight. Lots of people use spent sticks to practice with cause basically you can't afford to keep using new ones, and nothing has the weight/distribution of real glowsticks!
