Comes with:
- 1x roll of nimbus grip
- 1x roll of electrical tape
Nimbus Grip is almost 2mm thick and adds about 4mm to the diameter of your raw shaft. If this is more than your previous grip, your staff will roll along your body bit faster, which is often preferred, especially for a dragon staff.
How much grip to get?
This 450cm roll is enough for 143cm (4.7 feet) of 22mm (7/8”) shaft. The shaft diameter makes a big difference in the amount of grip used:
Length of nimbus grip needed per 30cm (~1 foot) of shaft length:
- 22mm (~7/8”) shaft: 95cm (3.1') per 30cm (1 foot) of shaft
- 19mm (~3/4”) shaft: 84cm (2.8') per 30cm (1 foot) of shaft
- 15mm (~5/8”) shaft: 69cm (2.3') per 30cm (1 foot) of shaft
- 12mm (~1/2”) shaft: 57cm (1.9') per 30cm (1 foot) of shaft
This is enough to grip any large contact/dragon staff, just enough for 2 smaller contact staves, plenty for double-staves, and just enough for small triple-staff if you don't go all the way to the ends.
Depending on your needs, you may want to only grip the middle 1/2 to 3/4 of your staff to save grip, expose the shaft material or decorative tape because it looks dope, and/or avoid flame on a fire staff.
For dragon staff: you may want to grip most of the length between the hubs for maximum playable area.
Length: 450cm
Thickness: ~2mm (~1/16″)
Strong adhesive backing for easy installation - clean surface first!
To install:
- remove your old grip
- clean the surface with alcohol or soapy water to remove any residues or oils
- wrap on your new grip, removing the liner as you go - don’t stretch it too tight! Just lightly snug/ almost no stretch
- trim the ends flush with a knife or scissors.
- Wrap the ends in ~2 layers of electrical tape. DO NOT STRETCH, or it will shrink back over time and expose some messy adhesive. Gaffers tape also works well.
See video for detailed instructions:
This video currently shows "gravity grip” which we discontinued due to low durability and high cost when we discovered the superior "nimbus grip”. It also shows finishing the ends with elastomer bands, but these were very difficult to apply so we now include electrical tape instead, which is super easy to install and repair.
Tip: Do not stretch the electrical tape, it will shrink back to its original size and leave exposed adhesive.
You may also use gaffer’s tape or any other tape you prefer :)
