Hybrid Staff - Braided Collection
Practice braided hybrid staff - Premium custom braided to your colors and grip. Up to 2 weeks build. Ideal for contact, spinning and fishtails. From 109 €.
Lead time up to two weeks. Available colors may vary.
⚠️ This prop is not designed to be set on fire. Training equipment only.
Made to order, hand-braided in our workshop. Lead time up to two weeks, we don't always have every color in stock. Like everything in the Woven Collection, each staff is made in the color combination of your choice, and no two come out the same. The combinations are genuinely beautiful, the kind of prop that makes you want to train. The Hybrid sits right between a contact staff and a double staff: long enough for contact moves, short and light enough for fast spinning and double contact. 115 cm, 500 gr, built to the exact same dimensions as our Fire Hybrid Staff.
We also have a cheaper version made with silicone balls instead of braided heads : Hybrid Staff - Silicone version
Who it's for
For those who find a full contact staff too long and slow, and doubles too short and light. But also for anyone who wants a beautiful handmade training prop, something you're happy to take out at a jam or a day performance, not just a functional object. It works for fast single staff spinning, fishtails, and it's a good entry point into double contact staff. Easier to travel with than a full contact staff too. For those who perform choreographies with our Fire Hybrid Staff and want something identical to train with, or to adapt their act into a non-fire version.
The real reason to get one
You don't want to train on your fire gear every day. Black marks, wicks wearing down with every drop, all of that. This exists so you can put in the hours without the cost. But honestly, a lot of people end up preferring it to their fire version, not for practical reasons, just because it's beautiful and it feels like it's really theirs.
Grip Type
EPDM
Perfect for beginnersA 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!
OSCAR Grip
Premium yoga mat styleThe 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.
GOAT Grip
Indestructible · Super grippyUltra-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.
On every staff : Silicone Tape
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.
How it's built
The tube is 16 mm aluminium 7075-T6. Light, stiff, and we've never seen one bend even after serious and repeated drops. The Monkey Fist knots at each end concentrate the weight at the tips, giving a slow and controllable rotation that's useful for contact technique.
The braided rope is chosen for its durability and because it looks great. It's what makes each staff unique, and it's the first thing you notice when you pull it out of your bag.
Built to exactly the same dimensions as our Fire Hybrid Staff, so there's nothing to adjust when you move to the fire version.
Made to order
