I use Zildjian Dipsticks instead.. those tubes are heavy and can really upset the stick's balance..... you can also use latex paint (rubber-based paint). Latex paint is a carefully formulated polyvinyl material with acrylic resin ...

yup that works well
i have one too (purple color)
But this one is more cheaper

i tried latex but its not good for hot condition or worse if u have sweaty hands, cuz it will give u a mess-up paint peals

If you let it dry properly, latex paint will last for a while... and you can always dip it paint again if it starts to wear off.

The problem with those rubber is the weight. The stick's fulcrum would be moved so much to the back that the only way to compensate with the balance is to hold the stick near the edge. Offset na kaayo ang balance sa stick.

If it works for you, okay lang sab... pero I would suggest against it. Dipping the stick in latex paint is better... and cheaper. Pila ra gud nang usa ka pint nga latex paint.

yup mao sad mu add siya og weight gamay, pero one thing di gyud na ko na uyon ang latex kay mag sigig ka paksit, basa mangud kog kamot basta mu play, gi lang ngita ko lain paagi para mu nindot ang grip

Usa pa bai.... the stick would be dampened so much nga inig crossstick nimo, bati na kaayo ug tingog.

di man bati mao raman ghapon.

I doubt it.... dili man tingali maka resonate ang kahoy inig crossstick nimo sa rim/hoop nya naay guma sa grip... ambot lang kaha. Pero if it works for you, maayo. Pero kini nga solution man gud daghan kaayog drawbacks.
