    I seem to be having issues with feeling less grippy on the TG pole with the iTac2 also. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_eek.gif

    WUHOO!!!!!!!!!!!! Got my itac2 sample in the mail yesterday!!! All the way from Canada!!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif
    Was too excited to even warm up before I tried it!!! So I put it on, waited a minute and went into my pole room and BOOM did a split grip aysha without sliding down the pole which is what usually happens to me when I TRY to do a split grip anything!!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif SOO delighted!!! Cant wait to try it out again when I do a proper pole work out!

    Thank you SOO much Peter!! Most definitely the best customer service Ive ever dealt with!!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

    I put too much on, I think, ’cause I haven’t been able to do anything outside of spin mode for several days. Heheh.

    I need to industrial wash my pole.

    Hmm…sounds pretty good. My hands are dry and don’t sweat , which most grip aids seem to cover the sweat part. I can’t wait to try it! I’m going to contact them today. :thumleft

    Just got my Itac2 level 2 and level 4 today and a sample of level 3.
    I tried level 4 tonight and it gave me crazy grip! I put it on my feet and my hands. And I was not slipping at all. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif
    Going to try level 2 next time I go poling and then level 3.

    Ok I got mine today, heres my review. my hand grip problem is usually sweat, its not alot, but enough to make a performance really tough and my confidence down if I havnt just wiped the pole, I try to do my big tricks first.

    The customer service is amazingly awesome! Love love love! When I opened it, I smelled it and it smells like tree sap, this doesnt bother me, so it depends on what your stance on tree sap is if thats a good or bad thing haha. I have read that it seems like everyone uses too much, so I rubbed it just enough so that it melted and I could get a tiny bit out, it was literally like, the size of…the tip of a pen i guess. I tried the number 2 first, I rubbed it on really well and then waited 1 minute, I grabbed the pole and it seemed like what was on my hand came off on the pole. it was eh grippy, I think my own grip is stronger than the 2. for spins it was kinda slippery. I personally wouldnt trust it enough to use in a performance, but that could also be biased since its also my first grip product ive tried and anything other than just my own grip I wouldnt trust at first. So I washed it off my hands and pole and put the 4 on my hands. tiny amount, rubbed it in really well, waited like 2 minutes. This time it seemed to be really grippy. at first. I did a couple pole ups and was like yay. so Itried a spin on static, not possible to do smooth spins with 4, at least for me. I was like hydrolicking down the pole and there were terrible noises lol. so i tried spin mode, I was able to hold on longer than ever before. i tried inverting on static mode, didnt trust it enough to do a butterfly. i was actually slipping even with itac 4 grip, and it made that horrible noise. its like my sweat sweated through the coating of itac2 grip. so yea, that was my experience. I will probably keep trying it and use less or more and at different times of practices, just at the start when me/pole are cold. end when im really sweaty, see how it holds up. ill try it again next week, today was the 2nd day in a row of alot of poling and my body is like noo what are you dooing to me lol

    Ok I got to try ITac2 the other day on brass and I have to say i must have used too much or something because I couldn’t do ANYTHING. I was actually slipping with it, and if I wasnt slipping was just stuck.

    However, I can see that it has great tac and Im sure it works amazing on x-pole, I would love to try it on my x-pole.
    I am a dry hands girl, i LOVE dry hands but i find it doesnt really help on my titanium x-pole….where as tackier grip aids like mighty grip works better. so perhaps itac2 would be best with the x-pole rather than brass.

    What do you guys think, has anyone else experienced this difference between poles/metals and grip aids?

    Stephanie, I found that both the 2&4 made me slip. NOW it was great on my body. But I generally don’t need tackiness on my body – that seems to stick really well. I am using it on an X-pole. I think itac is IDEAL for those who have dry hands, not so good for those with sweaty hands.

    For sweaty hands I like Tite Grip, Grrrip and Buckley’s no sweat. I can sweat through Dry hands pretty fast but I like it when I need that extra tac for new moves. I just bought gloves too, those seem great for new tricks.

    Ok so from what I have been reading, this product doesn’t seem to work well on the TG x-pole or Brass, but perhaps it works best with chrome or stainless?

    Have you tried all 4 levels?

    Just tried Itac2 level 2. On my hands and my legs. Liked it. Not slippery and not too grippy. Level 4 was extremely grippy. And I used it on a brushed stainless steel pole.

    Hi everyone, it’s Peter with iTac2 again.

    It shouldn’t matter what type of pole you use, rather it will depend on what level and how much you use that will make the difference. If you have tried one level of iTac2 and it didn’t work for you please write to me and I will happily send you a different level to try. Our aim is to help you find the level that works for you so please don’t be shy and send me a email at mailto:peter@inyourfacesports.ca

    BTW – I’m in LA atm for the Tri-Pole challenge which will be a great event.

    Cheers
