Hockey/tennis tape

Non-corked bicycle tape (non corked is key. Puffy corked tape holds water and falls apart)

Bicycle grips - locking ones if you want to be extra baller.

just buy one nice set of poles and when they break make sure you keep the grips. then you can buy cheap poles and always have nice grips.

BMX handlebar grips, some of them are amazingly comfortable, and all of them are pretty grippy.

Don't buy cheap poles. The first day on a pair of Swix that I got for like 20 bucks, one of the baskets broke, later in the season one got bent, the other basket completely fell off, and they were hardly usuable. Bought some Joystick Spinellis last year, just a couple of scratches. They were 35 dollars.

The poles were $2.50 from a thrift store so if they bend it doesnt really matter

Buy my poles.
Fresh Gretzky poles. Can't go wrong there.
Check the sale

Or use bike grips, you'll be able to find them on some little kids bikes, make sure to fuck over the handlebars though. Just to be a dick.

hate to break it to you, but joystick poles are nothing more than rebranded masters with a higher price tag.  the spicolis are essentially a glamorized rental pole with kooler graffix.

if anything, the cheap swix poles you bought are better quality than the joysticks.
