    Hi Hooked on Pole…that was me. I found that as an anti perspirant that tite grip needed time to work and actually prevent sweating so I apply it before I pole – an hour or two and I also throw couple of coats on. When I use dry hands after Tite grip it provides extra grip for working on new things…if I just use dry hands it gets slimy on me really fast because I sweat so much.

    I hope that helps. I have platinum grip at the moment and it’s similar to DH and I still only use if I used TG because otherwise I can sweat though that stuff too.

    Well I’m looking forward to trying it….hey if its that powerful, maybe I could wear it between my thighs and stick em together before I go to sleep so the mister leaves me alone!!! LOL sorry buddy shops closed. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif "this product may also be use as a form of birth control" https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_safesex.gif

    LMAO! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif Well, you do already have four kids…thigh fusing is not entirely out of line. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif

    Charley, Dry Hands was sucky for me too. I’ve tried using it a few different times and it’s always lasted through about one spin and that’s it. Grrrip wasn’t much better, although it does last a little longer.

    And I have to say, I HATE No Sweat–even after waiting for it to dry, it always seems to leave this greasy film on my hands that just makes everything worse. However, I know it’s a popular one, so it seriously does just come down to body chemistry. What is awful for one person may be the best thing in the world for someone else.

    I’m interested to see if they get it to you too. I’m sure they will. I’ve had iTac shipped to other countries without a problem so far.

    Got my samples today!! Wooooohhhhhooooo!!

    Now………..I have a couple of questions.

    Obviously I wash my hands before using this………..and let it set for a minute prior to getting dirrrrrty on the pole.

    BUT—They are little cake style blocks. Do I bring the whole piece out of the container and scantily apply it to my hands..
    Or do I chip off a piece with my finger nail and then rub that into my palms, thighs, knee pits etc…..

    Huge thanks

    Got my itac2 in this week. Tried it out twice and both times it made it much worse. I have a titanium xpole and it made my hands way to slippery. It was like i had just sprayed the pole with water. Going to stick with dry hands product instead.
    Anyone else have this type of result with itac?

    Yep, gatorgirl and I both had this happen. I was using it on a brass pole, nothing else on my hands, not sweaty. It stuck for a couple of minutes and then turned to grease. Definitely not for me.

    Yup, thought it was just me. I have a TG X-Pole and have always used TiteGrip or Dry Hands but thought I would give iTac2 a try…nope. When I get my Chrome I’ll try it on that, idk. Excellent customer service though!

    Hi, it’s Peter the iTac2 guy again.

    Jeng, I read your post with concern. You ordered from the UK correct, what level did you order please? In the US we have just received brand new samples of all levels and product and if you like I can send you some new ones to try.

    To everyone who may not have had a great result with iTac2, I have a few suggestions:

    1. Only use a tiny bit – people often put too much on at first.
    2. After you have put it on your hands and rubbed them together WAIT 1 minute before touching the pole so it has time to activate.
    3.If level 2 did not work, please ask me to send you level 3 and level 4. It shouldn’t matter what type of pole you are using. iTac2 should also work really well on other parts of your body such as legs and armpits.

    iTac2 comes in 4 levels because as humans we all have different oil contents in our skin and people perspire at different rates and quantities. If the level you were sent did not work for you at first please let me know so I can send you a new level to try. Just email me at mailto:peter@inyourfacesports.ca

    Cheers

    Was too excited to even warm up before I tried it!!! So I put it on, waited a minute and went into my pole room and BOOM did a split grip aysha without sliding down the pole which is what usually happens to me when I TRY to do a split grip anything!!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif SOO delighted!!! Cant wait to try it out again when I do a proper pole work out!

    Thank you SOO much Peter!! Most definitely the best customer service Ive ever dealt with!!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

    I put too much on, I think, ’cause I haven’t been able to do anything outside of spin mode for several days. Heheh.

    I need to industrial wash my pole.

    Hmm…sounds pretty good. My hands are dry and don’t sweat , which most grip aids seem to cover the sweat part. I can’t wait to try it! I’m going to contact them today. :thumleft

    Just got my Itac2 level 2 and level 4 today and a sample of level 3.
    I tried level 4 tonight and it gave me crazy grip! I put it on my feet and my hands. And I was not slipping at all. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif
    Going to try level 2 next time I go poling and then level 3.

    Ok I got mine today, heres my review. my hand grip problem is usually sweat, its not alot, but enough to make a performance really tough and my confidence down if I havnt just wiped the pole, I try to do my big tricks first.

    The customer service is amazingly awesome! Love love love! When I opened it, I smelled it and it smells like tree sap, this doesnt bother me, so it depends on what your stance on tree sap is if thats a good or bad thing haha. I have read that it seems like everyone uses too much, so I rubbed it just enough so that it melted and I could get a tiny bit out, it was literally like, the size of…the tip of a pen i guess. I tried the number 2 first, I rubbed it on really well and then waited 1 minute, I grabbed the pole and it seemed like what was on my hand came off on the pole. it was eh grippy, I think my own grip is stronger than the 2. for spins it was kinda slippery. I personally wouldnt trust it enough to use in a performance, but that could also be biased since its also my first grip product ive tried and anything other than just my own grip I wouldnt trust at first. So I washed it off my hands and pole and put the 4 on my hands. tiny amount, rubbed it in really well, waited like 2 minutes. This time it seemed to be really grippy. at first. I did a couple pole ups and was like yay. so Itried a spin on static, not possible to do smooth spins with 4, at least for me. I was like hydrolicking down the pole and there were terrible noises lol. so i tried spin mode, I was able to hold on longer than ever before. i tried inverting on static mode, didnt trust it enough to do a butterfly. i was actually slipping even with itac 4 grip, and it made that horrible noise. its like my sweat sweated through the coating of itac2 grip. so yea, that was my experience. I will probably keep trying it and use less or more and at different times of practices, just at the start when me/pole are cold. end when im really sweaty, see how it holds up. ill try it again next week, today was the 2nd day in a row of alot of poling and my body is like noo what are you dooing to me lol

    Ok I got to try ITac2 the other day on brass and I have to say i must have used too much or something because I couldn’t do ANYTHING. I was actually slipping with it, and if I wasnt slipping was just stuck.

    However, I can see that it has great tac and Im sure it works amazing on x-pole, I would love to try it on my x-pole.
    I am a dry hands girl, i LOVE dry hands but i find it doesnt really help on my titanium x-pole….where as tackier grip aids like mighty grip works better. so perhaps itac2 would be best with the x-pole rather than brass.

    What do you guys think, has anyone else experienced this difference between poles/metals and grip aids?

    Stephanie, I found that both the 2&4 made me slip. NOW it was great on my body. But I generally don’t need tackiness on my body – that seems to stick really well. I am using it on an X-pole. I think itac is IDEAL for those who have dry hands, not so good for those with sweaty hands.

    For sweaty hands I like Tite Grip, Grrrip and Buckley’s no sweat. I can sweat through Dry hands pretty fast but I like it when I need that extra tac for new moves. I just bought gloves too, those seem great for new tricks.

    Just tried Itac2 level 2. On my hands and my legs. Liked it. Not slippery and not too grippy. Level 4 was extremely grippy. And I used it on a brushed stainless steel pole.

    Hi everyone, it’s Peter with iTac2 again.

    It shouldn’t matter what type of pole you use, rather it will depend on what level and how much you use that will make the difference. If you have tried one level of iTac2 and it didn’t work for you please write to me and I will happily send you a different level to try. Our aim is to help you find the level that works for you so please don’t be shy and send me a email at mailto:peter@inyourfacesports.ca

    BTW – I’m in LA atm for the Tri-Pole challenge which will be a great event.

    Cheers
