Few people have ask what is the material that we have on the trad pole that we use in the videos.
The pole in the video is the one I still use as seen in our videos.

This will show you how you can put a handle grip that will make it more comfortable to use.
And also letting you have better grip of the poles. 

No more cold hands on frosty cold morning’s.

Don't knock it till you try it.

Know there people that are sceptical doing this.
So if you grab a broom / mop, try sticking the material on the handle as directed in video.
Then see if you have a better easier grip.
If not then you will have nice looking grip on your broom/mop handle.

As I said you could try it on a broom handle or something, if you not sure  and if you it feels OK then it up to you what you like to do.

What sort of material are you talking about 

[mufcglen]

what about felt tape instead then you wont have slap glue all over your pole?

[Perfect Windows]

Heat shrink or a cricket bat handle grip.  Neither involves damaging the pole.

Maybe a cheapo trad pole but not my gardiners poles! unless you've got extra slippery hands and your pole is like handling a wet fish , I don't see the need for this , as for the cold , I'd advise wears gloves

So already said try it on a broom handle to see how it feels.
It's up to you.
You never know unless you try.

I tried that - couldn't sit down for two weeks afterwards!

I've got all kinds of gloves for varying climatic conditions all with grip on, why would anyone need anything on the pole, does it matter whether the grip is on the pole or your hands I'd rather have it somewhere I can move about utter codswallop.

You can use what you like .
Unless you have tried it .
To say something is no good without at least trying it.
