Why should I purchase the original stick instead of the stiff stick?

What I like about the original stick is it has some give to it which helps it curve around some of the muscles I use it on.

I purchased the Stiff Stick after as the company recommended it after emailing them. The stiffness of the stick has to do with how much it can bend and not on the hardness of the PVC rollers. I have tight and firm muscles so the stiffstick was perfect. If your muscles are not as firm but softer, you would need the original stick which is more flexible.

I have the original stick only and it is slightly flexible. The individual controls the amount of pressure by how much force you exert. I have no knowledge of the stiff stick.

I purchased the original stick, which allows you you bend it slightly over your shoulders, for my 14 year old. The stick is perfect for her. She is a Cross Country runner and needs it for her calves and hamstrings. With the little bit of bending motion, it allows her to roll it around the sides of her thighs too. It reaches the lower back very well also. Good luck.

I purchased the heaviest available. I'm still pretty new to the sport but with a few exceptions, it is my understanding that more experienced players will almost always go for the heavier ones.

http://musclerollerstick.com/ Not sure of the model number, but I have "the Travel stick." I think they had a few different options and I choose this one due to it's length - about 17-18 inches. Not too small, not too big. I included another link, don't know if it will help. It looks like this might be only sold on Amazon. Good luck!

Definitely. There's an exterior material on the sticks and grooves all around the inner diameter of the sticks, making them grip so much better than the DS3. The texture ensures solid grip unless you get unnaturally sweaty.

Yes, you need the original, because the expansion packs are simply an addition. Each expansion pack provides more crazy question/answer options for your continued amusement with this game.

Yes it is. I got mine about 8 months ago and I'm pleased with it. I didn't get the sticks in the original package but contacted the seller and shipped them to me in a timely manner.

IDK either ... I bought it and got the standard version. I do not see much difference except for the metal on the pedals which maybe makes them more durable. I use the pedals with Windows XP as my OS; the interface of my pedals is USB, the Saitek Drivers get the pedals into my computer and Saitek includes a program to check that the pedals are working. BUT to get the pedal info into any running program they have to be linked to the Windows Device Manager by going to the Control Panel and Clicking on Game Controllers, then clicking on ADD then scroll down to Saitek and select it.I made a screen shot but Amazon does not give me a way to attach it to this e-mail.

Yes this is my primary use for the stick. I recommend going to xbmchub.com to help you with customization of the channels or follow videos on YouTube.

"Perform Better" is a retailer. Check thestick.com for more info. All "thestick" products are the same from the same manufacturer.

I used the A4002, a great paddle for me, but I definitively feel the difference when swift to the A6002: the sponge is thicker so you can feel the difference when hit the ball. Since sponges are thicker the weight of paddle is towards the rubber area... so at the end you will have more torque and due to the thicker sponge a more spring effect, so it means more power!. So it is a positive upgrade. But you need to learn to control the paddle... you can feel the difference between paddles, A6002 is more sensitive to the effects and you need to learn to control the power too. In therms of physical appearance I prefer the black handle, but due to the performance... you forget this detail. I dont know about A5002, I prefer to jump to the A6002 and I think that it was a good idea to jump like this and avoid A5002.

Apparently you get the bow earlier in the game and a few other features, which didn't mean a lot, honestly I only bought the Hunter's edition because it was pretty much the same price as the regular edition, but if there is a cheaper version of the original $10 or so cheaper, I would say that is a batter choice.

Best place to find out is the manufacturer. There are more than one dimension. The inside diameter which fits on the stick itself, and the outside diameter which probably comes in several sizes depending on the specific model you have. If you know the brand, just get on the internet and it will also provide you a location to order the replacement. That's what I would do. If you live in Europe, so much the better, as most of the devices are manufactured there anyway.

Not normal. This stick has a very precise and solid feel. Contact Amazon for a Hassle-Free exchange.

The choice will be completely be up to you. As you are probably aware, the extra $30 is essentially netting you better padding materials, three interlocking cables, and the ability to detach cables. If you don't need that extra feature, either the original ATHM50 (coiled cable) or the ATHM50s (straight cable) will suit you better with respect to lower costs. Either choices are good investments. In due time, even the remastered series will drop prices (though it could be a few years before that happens).

Yes and no. It techically would be an upgrade but the yoyos are very similar in feel. I reccomend branching off of yoyos from places like this. If you feel whoever is using the maverick cant do some tricks (grind tricks specifically) with speed and accuracy, going to an actual yoyo website would be ideal. This would known as an "under $30" yoyo. Then you can move to an "under $60" yoyo.

Sorry Phyllis,I have no idea if walking sticks are pretty standard. Probably not since they vary so much in price. The tips are not expensive so it might be worth your while to take a chance on them.
