FPC 10mm rope - by the foot

FPC 10mm rope - by the foot
$2.50

Availability: Out of stock

Introducing FPC cord - a 10mm rope custom-made for flowtoys by the manufacturers of VPC. 

Features:

  • perfect balance of slip + friction for tosses
  • stiff enough to be stable and easy to grab, but supple and flexible enough for tangles
  • no stretch, combines properties of dynamic and static rope
  • very durable

Note: FPC cord is 10mm and does not automatically fit into flowtoys capsule lights. You will need to modify capsule shells, which we do not recommend. We offer FPC by-the-foot here for general poi needs. If you are looking to get FPC for your existing capsule lights, please check out these FPC conversion kits.  

Sold by the foot.

What You'll Get

If you're into tech or contact poi, you’ve probably heard of VPC (Vectran®-Polyolefin Core), or “Willow rope" - the boating rope that Willow Solow introduced to the world of poi, and that many serious poi spinners consider the absolute best leash for poi for many good reasons. However the vectran core doesn’t melt, so it’s a PITA to make and adjust your leash. You can't just cut and melt it. VPC requires epoxy for a good finish, which is messy and difficult to work with. While the low-stretch of vectran is important when attached to a sailboat, your poi aren’t going to come close to stretching a rope this thick. 

We asked many poi spinners what their ideal rope was, and people said they loved VPC, but did not like how cumbersome it was to cut and finish. So we contacted the manufacturer of VPC and asked them to custom make FPC. FPC feels and handles exactly like VPC, but you can simply cut and melt the ends to finish. A much nicer experience!

Features & Tech Specs

FPC

  • 10mm rope
  • custom-made, similar to VPC
  • great for poi, darts, puppyhammers and other tethered props
  • supple, yet stiff
  • low stretch
  • can be cut with scissors, ends can be melted to prevent fraying

Note: FPC (like VPC) can shrink ~1" for every 20" of rope, though probably less than that, and usually in the first few months of use. The shrinkage is due to the internal fibers shifting until they settle into a more stable state. We recommend you start with 1" longer than your ideal length.
