How to choose your fan? What fan is best for me?
Welcome to the Fan army!! It comes down to the style of spinning you wish to achieve and personal preference of grip. Fan Right Meow offers Russian and American style practice fans!
Here we will focus specifically on Russian grip fans – large rings
- Large ring (aka Russian Grip) – this type of handle allows your entire palm to be placed inside the ring. This type of handle is more convenient for poi-like techniques (giving you the support your wrist needs to execute weaves). The handle also allows you to do tech (geometric) moves.
- Choose the width of the ring based (grip of fan) on the formula <palm width> + 1 cm. The most universal palm width is 3.5″.
- How to choose the size of fans – choose the length of the fans based on your height / arm length. The length from the center of rotation (center of the ring) to the tip of the fan should not exceed the length of your forearm.
Here we will focus specifically on American grip fans – smaller rings
- Grips or diameter of 1.5″ allows for 2 fingers in and 2 fingers out.
- Grips or diameter of 2″ are usually for those who have larger fingers to accommodate, 2 fingers in and 2 out with a bit of extra room.
- The grips comes down to personal preference.
