I was the first person to successfully market polycarbonate sticks (and other plastics) starting back in 1989, after meeting the inventor of the material. After 30+ years, I'm finally shutting down "Stickman" but I will still have tubing in both clear and black (who else has that?!!)
Any chance you can include the direct Amazon links? How have they held up? I like the idea of using the duct tape with the printed patterns. I saw another interesting DIY escrima stick using resin & a fiberglass rod. Cool ideas for near indestructible escrima sticks.
I like it. Will have to really look into getting some of this. My oldest sticks, that I still have, I got back in 1990 and they are really shredded. Been thinking about an alternative to the Ratan.

I still have some old broom handles duct taped, been using them since the mid 80's. Well not the same ones, we tended to break them every month or two.
Hi Keith, I've been searching for these polycarbonate tubes to make Arnis sticks for my son and stubbled upon your video. I've had a pair I bought from eBay about 20 years ago but one broke from years of abuse. I'm confused and unsure as to what to purchase looking thru Amazon. Can you post a link of these tubes? Much appreciated. 🙏

Wonder if you made the lexan sticks I had back in 1990. They were clear with Mylar tape around the ends.
Very Cool Info. Thanks for sharing!!! \m/

Is that reflective tape?
No. Just colored duct tape.
