Absolutely effing bloody useless!! The holes are never the right size
for the canes; they pop out at the slightest provocation; I wouldn't
give them away to my worst enemy!

(You can see I made the mistake of buying some. Don't you do the
same!)

Thanks for that from me too, I was thinking of getting some and now I won't
waste the money.
It just occurred to me - would drilling the appropriate sized holes for the
canes we have in old tennis balls work?
You'd have to hold them firmly in a vice, of course.
