I initially bought a set of Radical Fish Clubs with metallic silver tape around the handle....I didn't like the grip so I wrapped black, hockey tape over it. I liked it, until I bought one more club. The extra club I have was slightly different having a white thin plastic, wrapped around the handle. Not only does the grip feel better, but the club swings better and faster. The black griptape I used weighed down the handles on the other clubs. I tried to look for this thin plastic on various juggling sites, but all they have is the thin tape, or the decorated metallic tape. Does anyone know where I can find this thin, white plastic???
Thanks for your help!! -Shawn

Did you contact the manufacturer? Bryan Dube sells replaceable decorations for all of his clubs. When I replace my decorations I always put several strips of double sided tape under the handles. I guess I don't have to tell you that you have changed the balance of your clubs by adding black tape to the handles, and I can only imagine how tacky they look. HAVE FUN Al Angello

The Radical Fish club is made by Beard Juggling in Leeds, UK.
You want to get in touch with Greg or his wife Vicky through http://www.beard.co.uk and they should be able to sort you out with what you need. Thinking about it, the fish went through a slight change a couple of years back. Nothing major, but Beard changed the moulds they made them from. They may have also changed the handles. You may either have an old style club, or if you bought your odd one recently, you may have one of the new ones. Either way, Greg and Vicky ae who you want to be talking to. Good luck, Ros

Thanks guys...
I was able to contact Beard by e-mail I am awaiting a response now. Al actually the clubs look a hundred times better right now... The mylar foil handle with a the solid blue club looks really bad in my opinion. Maybe it's just not my style... ( I got the Mylar ones sent to me by accident) The black looks nice.. It just ruins the weight distribution... I have gotten used to them, but I'm afraid when I pass with other jugglers they may have difficulty. Thanks again for both of your help...

The manufacturer goes to a lot of trouble making the balance perfect, and when you say you have adjusted I wonder if you are working too hard to adjust. Have you done a four hour walkaround gig with those clubs? Al

I have learned that you should never get sentimentally attached to your clubs. People seem to remember the flashy clubs more than they remember your face, so the last time I visited New York my wife convinced me to buy the flashiest club Bryan had, and boy what attention they have drawn.
