    Hey everyone. Was just looking on eBay for some gripaid and came across power grip for pole? Never heard of it and it a lot cheaper than the others too…just wondering if anyone has used it before? :S

    I use it. I think it works pretty well actually but it doesn't mix with other grip aids well.

    I use the cream, it's super super grippy and can sometimes hinder your spins a bit. x

    This is the exact same stuff that they sell at bowling alleys.  You can generally find it in any pro shop for about $3.  It is very similar to itac….VERY similar, however it is a little creamier whereas itac is more like a paste.

    @chemgoddess. Just a quick clarrification, powergrip may look like iTac2 but the ingredients are completely different. Powergrip uses themo-plastics whilst we use natural organic beeswax. Themo-plastics are also used in paint to mark roads.

    Thanks

    Is the cream a thermoplastic?  I am talking about the Columbia Non-Slip Grip Cream that they are selling as "powergrip cream". 

     

    And many ingredients used in paint are also used in eye makeup…touche.

    Hi,

    According to their website it is.  It says "…POWERGRIP cream is made using thermoplastics which react to body heat…" It's not to say that it doesn't work of course.

    At iTac2, we have tried really hard to make our products very green. It adds to the price a little but we feel this is the direction that the market is going. Generally speaking, we feel that more and more people are demanding green products and willing to pay a little bit extra for items that don't contain chemicals as long as they 1. work and  2. last a very long time – providing value for money. My two cents anyway 🙂

    All the best for the holidays.

    Cheers

    I am all for going green and I cannot imagine that beeswax is cheap.

     

    I have been trying to track down information about this product from both Columbia and Master (both make a version) but have been unsuccessful.  Not really sure where this ebay seller got their information.  I used to have a jar but gave it to a guy at work who loves it for bowling.  I don't even think it had the ingredients listed on the jar or on the case it came in.
