Isis Fire Contact Staff

Sizing

Grip Type

A soft and comfortable grip, quite squishy, and ideal in wet conditions. It will become grippier with time as it starts to degrade, it may then leave black marks after long use. It will last one to 2 years before having to be replaced. A solid option for beginners or those who like a grip that can slide in the hand and won't stick to your hair. Also a little more comfy and forgiving than other options, and the cheaper one!

The ultimate yoga mat style grip. Yoga mat grips are the favorite of a lot of spinners, the right amount of gripping without being too much, super comfy, and comes in beautiful colors. The problem was they were not durable at all. But that day is over! Oscar, a British staff expert and professional prop maker, finally found the one we were all looking for : the super durable yoga mat grip. After over a year of testing, the grip is intact, showing almost no signs of wear, despite intensive use.

Ultra-durable and very grippy. Great for intense practice, it literally sticks to your skin and makes everything easier. Any contact moves become easier, it's almost like a cheat code. It can be harsh on sensitive skin and slippery in high humidity, and will add more weight in the middle of your staff, we don't recommend it for our 90 cm double staffs as it can mess up the balance.

We use it to cover exposed metal near the flames, it is a key safety element. Touching hot metal by mistake won't be happening anymore with this special silicone. We use it on all our fire staffs. One of the golden safety rules of making fire props : as little exposed metal as possible. It can handle fire as long as it keeps moving. Leave it burning on the ground for more than 10 seconds and it will degrade quickly. In motion, heat dissipates better and the silicone can last many years.

Our silicone flowers help slow down the staff and improve control for contact moves. They add weight at the ends and can sit close to the flame without melting. They are not a necessity, and some purists will say you're better off learning without them.
