THANK YOU!!!!,

I recently (09/07/96) purchased a set of SUPERFLIGHT STAR Stix on a whim. I liked what I saw and was daring enough to think I could do it too since I have some experience with twirling batons and flags. I was right... with the video and what I saw at the Michigan Renaissance Festival, I am not doing too bad. Even had an Infinity move going... for about 15 seconds. But I digress...

The thanks I refer to has to do with my right wrist. I am a service desk technician and find myself typing at my computer in excess of 10 hours a day, sometimes as many as 14 hours. Lately I found my right wrist aching and, more alarming, two of my fingers going numb. I can't change my typing habits since it is such an integral part of my job and for a time I was concerned that I would have to go on a vacation that I could not afford, go to a doctor I could not afford, and end up having surgery that I (you guessed it) could not afford. I have been looking for something to help exercise and strengthen my wrist and help stave off the inevitable, CTS. I found it.

This may sound unbelievable, but I've only faithfully done the Stixs for a few days and even in this short time I can already feel a difference. I am still in my first week of 'working out' (playing) with my Crystal Stix and my pre-CTS symptoms have almost completely disappeared!!!! I am so excited!

I now take them to work with me and fiddle around a bit with them between calls and during breaks. My co-workers find it amusing and are also learning to twirl. I'm the only one with a set of Stix but I've told them where to get them... and made sure they have your address, phone number, fax number, e-mail and WWW address.

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! I think the Stix have kept me from ending up needing surgery!!!!!
