the new griptease thing that jenyne posted on facebook

Do you need the air blowing into it when you put the pole sleeve on? or just to open it? I am so confused! That info really should be on the website….
-
I would think you could buy a cheapo air mattress inflater and that might work?
-
maybe?
Hoping he'll get back to me soon…
I guess it wouldn't be terrible if I had to pay $20 for an inflator…

Wonder how much air pressure is needed to get it on. And yes, they really should let people know this before they sink money into it. Wonder how you are supposed to get the thing back off?
-
I'm concerned about that now too. It is *supposed* to be easy…bahhhh!
I guess I'll find out if he calls me back.

You need the air source to put it on. I got about 24" without it. It won't budge on or off.
A mattress pump may work. I'll try that if the air compressor doesn't do it. It's just a much bigger pain in the ass than I anticipated and definitely not an item designed to be frequently taken on and off. Supposedly, the more you install/remove, the easier it gets.
-
You're also supposed to repeat the process to remove it.
-
Oh, no, this sounds harder to put on and remove than I thought…. Sounds like it will be extremely difficult to remove.. Please let us know how it goes!
🙁

If you have a leaf blower (or something like a shop vac that you can reverse) it's a piece of cake. I can get mine on and off in a couple of minutes – not such a big deal – and totally worth it because I loooove the grip as opposed to the metal. You can email or call the company and they'll help you out if you are stuck – they are very helpful! It's a little awkward at first, but once you get the hang of it it's easy. A mini electric leaf blower is only like $25 at Wal-mart if you don't have one.

My leafblower didn't work because the nozzle was too big. Thanks for the tip though. I may check it out tomorrow.
-
I’m glad to see there is some discussion on this. I was looking into it but was unsure.
-
Okay, I got the leaf blower to work. I had to stretch one end over the nozzle and then clamp it down. It wasn't the easiest process but I can see how it would get easier with each application.
I'm still on the fence whether I like it or not. Honestly though, I'm still on the fence whether I like pole or not, lol. The grip is great and I like that it doesn't matter whether or not my hands sweat. It does make the pole a little too thick for my comfort, but again, I haven't had a lot of success falling in love with pole (I'm more a silks/lyra girl). I just never feel that secure with the pole. I was hoping the pole sleeve would make a huge difference, but while it does make some difference, it wasn't pole changing like I'd hoped.
I'll give it a few more go's before I decide what to do with it.

I finally got around to doing a write up on my sleeve: http://flexines.blogspot.com/2013/04/pole-sleeve.html
Hope it helps!
