To begin: MAKE SURE YOUR STIX ARE CLEAN. Wipe them with a damp paper towel. This is a good habit to get into, because the Stix grip much better with a clean surface. Even if you don't think they're dirty wipe them, THEY WILL PLAY BETTER! (some window cleaner will clean greasier dirt).
HOW TO STAND
- Feet- Balanced - one under each shoulder.
- Knees- Slightly bent - as if you are ready to take a step. Note, if you lock your knees when you move, you are out of balance
- Back- Keep it straight - bend only in relationship to movement.
- Arms- Relaxed and ready to move freely - bending at the elbows.
- Elbows- Mainly at your sides and slightly away from your body.
- Wrists- Slightly stiff but relaxed and in line with pointing index finger.
Remember to Keep your Stix CLEAN
and
Don't be afraid to Drop It!
