How to choose your flowerstick?
The most frequently asked question, which can be answered in several different volumes, to make sure you find the right flowerstick for you.
1.) A short summary of the most important differences:
All of our types are recommended for everyone over the age of 6. The only exception is our wooden stick (WoodiX), which is not recommended for children and beginners. They are more difficult to learn tricks with due to their weight and stiffness.
The other models (FiberiX, ProfiX and LuminiX) are all suitable even for the most difficult tricks. The main differences between these three types are the material of the handsticks (wood or fiberglass) and their durability (fiberglass is unbreakable while wood can break, and the decoration of the kits.
The pictures below show the main features of our 4 categories. For easy comparison, you will find in bold letters the differences compared to the previous category (e.g. the WoodiX flowerstick is made of 10mm diameter wooden rod, while the next category (FiberiX) is made of 5mm diameter fiberglass rod.

2.) Detailed comparison
We offer 4 different types: WoodiX, FiberiX, ProfiX, LuminiX
-
WoodiX – the whole kit is made out of wood with black handsticks
-
FiberiX – colourful fiberglass flowersticks, with black wooden handsticks
-
ProfiX – fully fiberglass, colorful kit with colorful handsticks
-
LuminiX – fully fiberglass, colorful kit, with a glowing, colorful design and white tassels
In terms of the material, we distinguish between wood and fiberglass. The difference is that fiberglass is unbreakable and – with a fiberglass flowerstick – it is easier to do tricks with. The main difference is therefore in the materials, but there are also other minor differences in materials and decoration. There is no difference in lenght between the types (50 cm flowerstick with 42 cm handsticks). And there is no difference int he cover of the sticks either: Their surfaces are always made from extra gripping material.
Materials:
Wood or fiberglass! The wooden sticks (WoodiX: all sticks are made of wood; FiberiX: only the handsticks are made of wood) are not unbreakable and are not guaranteed to be perfectly straight. Over time, the moisture content of all wood changes, so they can become bent. However, this has little or no effect on the enjoyment of the game. In contrast, fiberglass sticks are not only unbreakable, but they are guaranteed to stay straight. But this is not the only advantage of fiberglass: Fiberglass flowersticks (all types except WoodiX) are also easier to play with because they are lighter and more flexible, which makes for more precise, faster, and easier play, especially for the more advanced tricks.
Decoration:
While our fully wooden kits (WoodiX) are monochrome, our fiberglass sticks with wooden handsticks (FiberiX) are bicoloured, and our full fiberglass kits (ProfiX) are decorated with special, multicoloured patterns. And our glow sticks (LuminiX) have an extraordinary, multicoloured, limited edition phosphorescent decoration.
Covering/ Playing surface:
Although we cover all our sticks with the same grippy material, it deserves a separate mention as it has a big influence on the decoration of the handsticks and the grip of all our sticks. The handsticks of our ProfiX and LuminiX kits are colorful and therefore covered with a transparent material, whereas the handsticks of our WoodiX and FiberiX kits are undecorated and black. It is also important to note that the quality and simplicity of the flowerstick game, as well as the speed and number of tricks, are mainly determined by the covering. And we make no compromises on this, which is why each of our kits gets the best cover available. So the difference is not between our own products, but rather in comparison with other flowersticks.
