I dont think you can go wrong with tennis grip. Ive tried the expensive stuff and the cheap stuff. Cheap stuff doesnt last as long but other then that there isnt really a difference. also if you want cusionier(word?) grip some come with foam on the underside. i liek the tennis grip because its made to absord sweat and moisture.

ive used bike innertubes since i made my first stick 6 years ago, has always done me fine grip wise, am sorely temped by the firetoys gear though silicone is the way to go i reckon.
I coated a practice staff in silicone a few years ago, i found it was itrritant and peeled off really badly,
Ive seen Silicone stuck on the outside of aerotechs too, long time ago mind.
surf wax is good tho, a fine coating of Mr Zoggs on the grip and super sticky contact tricks literally stick to you skin (or shirt ect) greta for pulling off tricks, not so good for keeping you clothes not covered in wax!

the silicone grips rip the hair off your body.. and are quite hard not good for catching on the wrists from fishtail throws.

some moves require you to slide the center of your staff to a new position. Matrix propellors being one. If you have a staff that's so grippy it won't slide, it'll be very difficult to do the movements that require it. I wouldn't use something actually 'sticky' for a grip on a contact staff.

i just cover mine in honey and then re-apply when it gets dirty. This is also a good technique in coaxing bears outta the jungle.....

I just use drawing pins to stop my stick sliding about.
Not only do I learn contacty stuff quicker, I also get an acupuncture session

There's a silicon tube avalible in many different dimensions ,it only smolders if it's too near the flames I've used it for years on the bits that don't get hot,It looks like a semi clear plastic pipe but it 's got great friction ..I buy it from a hardware shop it's quite cheap...The main problem is getting it over the staff or whatever cos then the friction stops it sliding on-I use chalk dust to help it on or washinp liquid.The other problem was when I ask for silicon tube they always assume I want the sealent that comes in a tube...ciao for now
