I use two types of 'sticks' to do my 'tricks.' :D

The first is a round dowel -- 5/8" X 48". The extra length is important because you'll perform your drills gripping down on the shaft a distance about equal to the entire length of your Left Forearm. This promotes Left Wrist stability and a real sense of the Left Arm Flying Wedge alignments.

The second is a four-sided sign stake that is shorter and gripped normally. I use this to heighten the visual and kinesthetic sense of 'Aft' -- behind the Shaft -- Pressure Points (the Left Thumb, last three fingers of the Left Hand and pad of the Right Forefinger).

I sometimes use a third stick -- a four-sided balsa wood dowel -- along with a balsa wood board to demonstrate the Left Arm Flying Wedge alignments. However, these are Instructional Aids and not Training Aids.
