Step 2Cut sticks to length
iImage Information

How easy it is to control the flower stick depends on its moment of inertia. A lower moment of inertia means that only a light hit is enough to get it spinning fast, but this also means that the stick is harder to control. Conversely, a larger moment of inertia means that the same torque will get the stick spinning slower, making it easier to control. Thus, when starting out, it's a good idea to make the stick longer.
Cut one stick to a length of 50 cm (or 60 cm). This forms the flower stick.
Cut each of the other two sticks to a length 5 cm less than the flower stick. These form the handsticks.
