Flowersticks are lame, really really lame. They are the idiots version of the devilsticks. Get a devilstick, use the real thing.

Aren't they the same thing? Either way it's lame, pen spinning is clearly the superior manipulation. Give me a devil stick/baton and any pen spinner will blow a flowersticker away. (plus the name... come on..) -somewhat sarcastic- But really, this type of manipulation just doesn't appeal to me... It's like baton twirling or yoyo-ing...

Actually, it's nothing like yo-yoing and pen spinning is much closer to baton twirling! In fact, pen spinning essentially is becoming 'mini baton twirling'.i tried devilsticks also, flowerstix are just more fun. can you do releases with devilsticks, or three devilsticks?
Well of course you can do releases with devilsticks! And as for 3, I personally can't do it (currently working on that damn 2 stick tick-tock), but I've seen someone perform with 3, yes. You need only search 'Andy Gebhardt devilstick' on youtube to see how fantastic devilsticking really is. -

The moment we say something is "lame", we close our mind to the possibility of adapting moves from another manipulation into pen spinning. I always wanted try devil sticks, but never got around to it. I think if they spin the hand sticks while doing tricks with the center stick, it could look pretty interesting.

Watch Andy Gebhardt, he does some of that. Indeed, it does look very nice indeed! -

i dont really see the difference between flower stix and devil stick.. tricks wise. the only difference i see is that the sticks are slightly smaller? wait..flower stix has more body parts involvement and aerials? lol

Devilsticks are about (literally) twice as fast moving? -

I think it is interesting how he's always trying to keep both hands occupied, by also including some 'pen' spinning tricks. He's very well coordinated, and can multitask very well. We spinners could actually learn from that.
