Thank you everybody, I went with the offset cane instead of derby - heeded all your advice. Thanks. Do you have to divide your fingers in front and in back of the cane to achieve hold over the stick? How does this balance better than offset? I meant...

I used it with my thumb on one side and my fingers on the other. There is a pad on the handle that fits the heel of you hand, where you put the most pressure, when using the cane.

It takes some continuous variation of the throttle to get a decent hover (it's easier to do with the transmitter in expert mode). Also, from my experience and those of my friends, each of our units experiences a slight drift one direction or another without touching the joystick. You're going to have to go with one if the larger quads with a better gyroscopic sensor if you want a perfect hover.

Dont know what the hurry cane is or its size. I bought two of these cane tips, one for a regular size cane and one for a thicker walking stick. It worked for both of them although I had to have help pushing it onto the thicker one. I hope this helps. I loved my tips, they were so helpful in making me feel steadier and navigating rough terrain.

Analog sticks that are too tall. I never use it. Looks really cool, but the turbo isn't really turbo. Rather an auto-fire. Does not seem to increase speed. But I have not tried on all games.

You cannot stop....there is no brake. It's like a skateboard...you have to slow down or jump off. Your foot can get "caught" if you fall forward. It's not an easy device....if you get the hang of the balance, you dont really have an issue with your foot getting caught, but it happens while learning. You don't want your foot jammed into it...the front of you ankle should NOT touch when you put your feet in...you "balance" on it. Only the soles of your feet should touch the skate cycle....if that makes sense.

I have looked at the four point tips available for this cane, but have not taken the plunge to try one. I was worried that this lighter weight came wouldn't work as well with it. I did check the specs and there is one made in the correct size, so I may try it at some point.

I have a Baxter and one time I accidentally flipped over the bottom piece (that screws on to the handle). It still screwed on correctly so it was hard to tell something was wrong, but the razors didn't seem wide enough even though I've always used Derbys. At first I suspected a defective batch, but then I realized the piece was just upside down.

The shorter stick works well sitting on the ground or in a chair. I have the long stick also.It works sitting in a chair or standing ,but not sitting on the ground. it will depend how you are the most comfortable. I prefer to sit on the ground or a chair when calling in predators.

Maryann, I went to www.hurrycane.com; spoke with the guy who answered the phone about the problems with the feet. They sent me a whole new cane. I hope this help. Bob

Mine just turned by hand! Grabbed pipe in one hand, foot in other and it turned! Not so easy as to change when I walk, but not hard either. I figured the hex head held it on and has thread locking compound, so I did not even try it. Your idea is right on: I much prefer mine switched 90 degrees as well. I don't need a cane that I position, step, position, step with the cane stopping each time. My cane flows smoothly synched with my left knee, never really stopping. I hope this helps.

Hi,Well it doesn't do that "technically" BUT what you need to do is just twist the angle of the stick, and it'll become horizontal. Hope this help :)

No idea. I can't help you. You'll have to ask the manufacturer.And, we took 3rd overall this year! Whoo! Pinewood derby is fun!

When holding the cane your index finger goes down on one side of the shaft and your thumb is on the other. It corrects the balance down the shaft.

I have yet to use mine in the winter, there is a spike on the bottom of the stick but how effective that will be on ice, I'm not certain.I plan to use mine this winter I figure it will be at least as stable as a cane.

In time you can see the general position where the lines should be. The control line is always situated closer to the handle. It's good to store one stick that has 2 lines and use that one to compare.

My cane is straight as an arrow. It's solid wood and it really helps me get around. I've recently had reconstructive back surgery and was using a walker. But I'm gradually getting better and the cane is all I need to get around. If yours is crooked, send it back and get another one. Thanks.

I bought my Lucite Cane and of course it was too tall for me also. I had my son-in-law cut it down with his high powered electric saw... It worked extremely well. Make sure to mark exactly where you want it cut and it can be done. Then put the tip on and you're ready to go. I love my cane and use it all the time especially when I "get dressed up"... I wish you the best.
