HDPE Plumis Flow Fans by Flow DNA
R2,090.00
While the shape of our much-loved Mojura Fans were designed to be the most comfortable tech fan, with extra techy with manipulation features to satisfy even the most nerdy of techy fan spinners, the most common feedback we received was: “Can you make them prettier?”. The answer was: “Okay fine”.
We used the shapes from one of Duncan’s first fan designs back in 2018, and upgraded it with all the techy balance jargon that we’ve learned in the past 6 years of making fans. It has a feathery/flowery aesthetic, so we dubbed them “Plumis” – Latin for “feathers”. They are a bit shorter than Mojura Fans, but also wider, with a more Russian-ish shape and feel. The weight is the same as some of our fire fans (but not as heavy as most fire fans), making them great for practicing for a fire show 🙂
Sold as a pair.
Description
HDPE practice tech fans meticulously designed and manufactured by Flow DNA in South Africa. They were created from the ground up mostly to look good, but they also have the same ergonomically shaped grip that you’ll find on all the Flow DNA fans – the result of 6 years of research and iteration – giving you the best possible handle we could imagine. They are even more shaped to stimulate persistence of vision effects in motion, and rounded off for the comfort of holding them, with a slightly bubbly feel to touch.
FEATURES:
– Balanced and shaped for box-tech manipulation, fishtails, spinning, and juggling*.
– Super pretty feather/flower inspired design.
– They feel great for layering 2-fans-1-hand techniques.
– 5 spokes at the top of the grip to assist with layering manipulation.
– The fractal nature of the design repeats every 30 degrees, making for cool overlaying and optical effects.
– Padded square handles for tactile feedback on 90 degree angles.
– Made from highly durable HDPE plastic.
* While this HDPE will not break unless you try really hard, we do not recommend juggling on harsh surfaces like bricks and concrete, as the drops will cause marks on the edges of your fans.
CHOOSING A GRIP STYLE:
Little Ring (38mm / 1.5″):
(AKA Extra-box-tech grip for USA styles)
We added these grips after realizing that some extra-techy spinners really want to put their 2 fingers into smaller holes. If you’re one of those people, and you prefer to do boxy-techy things with a tighter fit for your 2 fingers, then these are the grips for you.
Small Ring (51mm / 2″):
(AKA Box-tech grip for USA styles)
These are made to fit 3 fingers, or 2 large fingers.
If you like to perform box-techy manipulations that involve more jerky movements where you need to stall the fans at specific angles, then this is the grip for you.
Extra Medium Ring (63.5mm / 2.5″):
(AKA The Goldilocks Grip)
These are made for big hands with 3 fingers, or petite hands with 4 fingers.
Slightly more techy than the medium ring. Slightly more finger space than the small-ring. Possibly just right for the most in-between of all tech styles.
Medium-Ring (76mm / 3″):
(AKA Hybrid-tech grip for Jack-of-all styles)
These are made for 4 fingers, or 3 very large fingers. Having more ring to hold on to is better for swinging/weaving techniques and tosses than the small-ring grips, while there is still enough flat handle space to hold onto for stalls and plane-switches. This grip is trying to be the best of both worlds.
Big-Ring (89mm / 3.5″):
(AKA momentum tech for Russian styles)
If you prefer to spin your fans in a continuous flow, performing lots of weaves and fountains, or if you want to do a lot of tosses with your fans, then you want a nice big ring. A large hand-hole allows for wilder spinning momentum-tech movements, and is easier to catch in the air. Box-tech stalling and tutting/switching is less easy with this grip, but still possible, and the squared handle helps with that.
