have never been able to "work" a cane and have never liked any that i picked up, they were heavy and the candy cane handle was clumsy.
really needed one, though, so decided to try this one. of course, the handle makes a lot of difference, much easier and more comfortable for me to use. the biggest plus is probably the custom cut to size. i think that's why none of the others were a good fit.
am very happy with it. now i just have to remember where i left it.
