New Itac Formula
There was an older thread about this but I can not find it for the life of me, but I recieved 2 samples of Itac recently and the formula has been changed. It is more greasy feeling at first. It does not take much at all and you need to rub your hands together a lot to activate it. I used to much and actually slipped worse. I wiped some off and rubbed it in and stuck like glue. They have 2 formulas now Regular which is the old 2 and Extra Strength which is the old 4.

Yes here is the other thread:
I miss the old formula. I have been leaving my new ones open to dry them out a little. I'll update when I know if it helped or not. I thought I was rubbing it in enough but for my next practise I'll focus on doing that more to see if it improves my grip.

Okay just to follow up I HATE this new stuff!!!! Sometimes it works well and sometimes it's like slip grip errr My old Itac was consistently grippy and was my go-to brand for new moves or for a shaky pole day.
R.I.P my beloved level 2 :'(

I heard through the grapvine that there has been some drama over on the itac homefront. It sounds as if this stuff has become more like the bowling grip than the originaly itac.

Interesting they changed the formula. I did notice the other day on the X-Pole site that they did not sell the version of Itac I bought when I got my first pole back in Oct 2011. It's the Itac level 4

I noticed that too-I usually use dry hands but for things Iike elbow grip or my knee pit ill rub some on but the last time I slid right out of my elbow grip…and with my sweaty hands, I don’t dare rub it on lol

Guys, the best thing to do is contact the company and complain. Remember how tite grip changed their formula, and people complained, so now they are offering the old AND new versions!?
-
I really loved this stuff. I have samples of the new but haven’t been able to mess. Around enough with it to make an opinion yet. I am mad that they even messed w it though.

I thought it was just me but i noticed the same thing.
My teacher has the i guess old stuff cause its amazing, like freakin glue.
A bunch of girls got there own and its oily, like grease with no stick whats so ever. Booo! -
I have the newer one and I do whatever I can to keep it off my hands. I use a makeup sponge (tip form Charley) to apply it to my legs, and arms. It only takes a teeny, tiny amount.
-
@Chem, from what you've heard do you think there may be a possibility of Itac going back to their original formula?
-
I most definitely use less if the new formula.
-
I agree AG. I emailed them here: http://www.itac2.com/contact Oh what I wouldn't do for my old itac2 (sigh)

All I know is that there is some guy called Warren Gamble who has started a facebook page, trademarked the product and says he discovered it, but that was all done in March 2012. We all know that Itac has been around for a much longer time and that Peter was the guy. So I really have no idea what all happened. I don't know if Peter and this guy were business partners and the partnership went south or what.

According to this Itac joined facebook in 2012: http://www.facebook.com/ITac2PoleDanceGrip\
However they were around much before that and had a street pole competition in 2011 : https://www.studioveena.com/forums/view/4ef0e5a0-3524-4690-83c8-31d30ac37250

Oh, and there was a contest in 2010, too, because that was the year my girlfriend won.
