  Offered is ONE 4 Inch Length Titanium Finger-Baton™ Toy, and Hand Dexterity Rehabilitation Tool.  Spinning FUN for ALL!  

 Hand made in the USA by Ti Rod Tactical™.  

  ALSO makes a much more challenging Stress-Relief Tool than other spinners in the market, and you won't find a more solid "Toy" that the whole family can enjoy!

  Hand Made in Durable .44" diameter Aerospace Grade 5 Titanium Rod (6AL-4V Alloy) , I make them up in a useful and easy to spin 4" length for most folks with small to medium hand sizes. (Longer 4-3/8" sticks also available for larger hands). If you have a really large hand a bit longer stick can be made on request. 


NOTE: For point of reference, my medium sized men's hand measures 3-3/8 inches across where my fingers meet my hand, as shown in the 1st photo.

  Because the device is actually FUN to use,....you're much more likely to WANT to use it! (Unlike most rehabilitation tools, which are often neglected because of the actual "work" involved).    

  Spinning this within your hand will work your fingers and hand functioning, to increase dexterity lessened as the result of a previous hand injury. Encased within a plaster cast to heal broken bones, the hand will usually stiffen, and dexterity and fine motor skills will be reduced during the healing process. 

   Mild to sometimes severe pain can be present even after the healing process, and often it's difficult to get the patient to WANT to get rehabilitation underway.  It will be SO much easier when the rehab work is FUN to do!

   Learning to use the tool in one hand comes quickly, but achieving a controlled and even spin is challenging. (picture a new driver learning to drive a stick shift! :-)  Quite honestly it can be a bit addictive! 

  But in THIS case that's actually a good thing, as using it often will speed your recovery!  Very soon "muscle memory" kicks in and you can be working your hand while watching TV, reading, eating,....or most any activity not requiring your full attention. 

   Yeah,...I'm probably addicted, but at least at age 65 now my dexterity is still great and my wrists are "supple"!  (referring, of course,  to the manual dexterity that makes a good pinball player as told by "The Who"  singing "Pinball Wizard" way back in 1969 :-)

   Additionally, you can spin the stick in a more horizontal manner in what I call "Helicopter" mode, where the spins mimic the main blade rotation of a helicopter. This works best when getting the wrist involved in helping the flow of the spin, since gravity isn't helping here. If the wrist is a bit stiff this will help to loosen it up. 

   A third type of spin I use is what I call "Up the Steps", where you're "Flipping" the stick backwards ("up") and against gravity. This is a bit of a staggered "step", with a brief pause between flips,... much like climbing up and down long set of steps. 

   A really fun variation I call "Walking the Dog" :-)  is where you climb the stick "Up",...and then "DOWN" making use of ALL your fingers including the Pinky. You use the "Ring" and "Middle" Fingers as a Fulcrum Point (working VERY near your finger "Tips"), and roll the stick around them in both Up and Down directions, while your Thumb maintains light contact on the outside. The Pinky and First fingers come into play directing the stick around the Ring and Middle finders. Once you get the technique down it is overall the FASTEST way to "Filp"! 

  Each "Flip" type uses different hand motions, so the hand and wrist get a better overall workout if all are used. Intertwining the stick within the fingers and slowly walking the stick over and under the fingers is also possible. ("Walking the Dog" a worthy name, perhaps? :-)  I'm sure others will figure out additional ways to work this tool, but what I've outlined is a good starting point.

   This shorter 4 Inch length works very well, as it carries enough weight at the tip ends to aid in continuing the spinning, without being so long as to hinder the flipping with excessive contact to the web of the hand.

   I discovered this therapeutic benefit when I was experimenting with some various length prototypes of my longer Yawara Sticks. I had a serious injury to my left hand decades ago when I was just 12.

 

  It healed pretty well and the scars are faint now, but there was lots of scar tissue and stiffness that hindered such hobbies as playing guitar and ukulele. Using this stick a lot has loosened up my hand considerably.  Also, one of my customers who plays guitar has used a similar stick purchase to "loosen" up his hand prior to playing. :-) 


  The 4" length seems the best choice for this hand rehabilitation application for folks with smaller to medium sized hands, with enough weight at the tip ends to aid the spin, but without excessive contact to the hand web for an "average" sized hand.  (longer 4-3/8" and 4-5/8" lengths also available for larger hands)


NOTE: Photos show just some of the stick positions, when spinning "backward" toward the user. The Red Dot is NOT actually on the stick, and is used in the photos to show the relative tip positioning after each 1/2 turn, or less in the later photos,... as the stick clears the web of the hand.
