Someone told me that the carrot sticks use the same core as golf
clubs. Well, a golf club is too heavy to be swung at waist level with one
hand--for a woman, at least.
Almost all the women I know that ride can do this....golf clubs are not
that heavy...lol...Cora
Um, not in my case--I pick up one of those sticks, try to wield
it in the NH fashion I've used for years, and it's instant pain in the outside
of my forearm near the elbow. The rest of the time I don't experience
tendonitis.
But I chose longe whips, for instance, for their weight/balance, and the
"wrong" ones cause the same sensation.
JMO, YMMV, etc. I hold an 8 lb camera/lens combo to my face for as
much as 1200 images a day, so I doubt it has anything to do with physical
strength.
Someone wrote: "The basis of my
criticism comes from a couple of places, not the least of which is the poor
design of the carrot stick, yes a nicely balanced dressage whip is a far
more effective tool if for no other reason than that it is (and has
specifically been designed to be) easier to hold without causing long term
physical damage to the user. I have two friends how have been in and out
of the doctor's office for treatment of their tendonitis."
Pardon if
this observation has already been made. I'm thinking that
these folks have tendonitis because they're over-using the stick. The
stick is good. If they are swinging the stick to the
extent that it generates a tendonitis episode then they have
a big problem, and it isn't the stick. The visual
cracks me up, it has the potential to be one of those painfully
memorable utube videos.
