Comfortable grip

Prodigy Snake Tape is made from 100% cotton, which gives you a soft and comfortable grip.

The texture of cotton tape helps you grip the bar. Without tape, an unwrapped bar can be slippery. An unwrapped bar is more gentle on your hands, but most users prefer the feeling of security with a better grip.

Easy to wrap

One 14m roll should be enough to cover any size of aerial hoop with a tube diameter of 25mm. It has no serrated edge and is easy to tear by hand.

Use two rolls of tape if

  • your tube diameter is larger than 25mm
  • your hoop diameter is larger than 100cm
  • you want a two-colour hoop!

Wrapping the hoop is easy and the tape unrolls easily.

  • Start at the bottom of your hoop.
  • Wind your tape up, wrapping around the bar in a spiral, overlapping the tape until you reach the top of the hoop.
  • Start again at the bottom, overlapping the tape by about a hand’s width. Start wrapping in the other direction until you reach the top!

Pro Tip

Freshly taped hoops often have a bit of surface tack as the fabric settles, especially once it warms up during training. This is entirely natural for premium cloth tapes and is very easy to manage.

Pro-Tip: A Quick Chalk Dusting

  • Lightly coat the newly taped hoop with Prodigy Getta Grip Aerial Chalk to neutralise the surface adhesive immediately.
  • Reapply a touch more after your first couple of sessions as the tape beds in.
  • Within a short time, the fabric will settle permanently, leaving you with a clean, secure grip and zero residue on your hands or clothing.

As with any cotton-based tape, ambient temperature and humidity can play a small part in how quickly it cures. If you ever need advice on getting the best finish for your hoop, our team is always on hand to help.
