Plumis Practice Fans with Mojuragrips by Flow DNA

Description

Flow DNA Plumis practice fan frames were created to be interchangeable with our LED fan frames and fire frames with almost exactly the same weight and balance.  So you can practice with fans that feel the same, without damaging your LED or fire fans.  The coloured grips provided with the practice frames are, however, not heat resistant, so our collapsible fire fans are sold with polycarbonate Mojuragrips.  All of our grips have the same ergonomic shape – giving you the best possible handle we could imagine after many years of research and iteration.  

Printed with a semi-flexible high impact strength filament formulated in Cape Town by FilX. SBS (Styrene-butadiene-styrene) has the unique properties of being both tough and flexible at the same time, thanks to its Polystyrene origin lending it a hard, tough consistency and the Polybutadiene giving it a bit more bounce with its rubbery properties.

FEATURES:

• Balanced and shaped for box-tech manipulation, fishtails, spinning, and juggling
• Design: This “super pretty” feather/flower-inspired design was Carey-Ann’s first attempt at creating a more feminine fan design, hence the name “Plumis,” which comes from the Plumeria flower.
• Interchangeable with LED frames – connected by 4 screws in each grip.
• They feel great for layering 2-fans-1-hand techniques.
• Padded square handles for tactile feedback on 90 degree angles.
• Made from highly durable SBS plastic filament. SBS – a semi-flexible high impact strength filament formulated in Cape Town by FilX
• Available in various colours, including glow-in-the-dark.

* While this SBS will not break easily ,unless you try really hard, we do not recommend juggling on harsh surfaces like bricks and concrete.

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.
