Hi Trevor,
let me the one, who supports you and your exercises.
I love those pins on broomsticks - although I prefer sticks of gardening tools, which are thicker.
And after years of hard training, I got to such a perfection, that none of the stick could move after being pinned, as hard as they try.
Next month I'll start doing exercises with multiple sticks.
Maybe a bit ironical, but not offensive at all
Cordially Dirk
