GTS distributes several manufacturers of durable, vinyl and coated vinyl poms generally structurally classified as TRADITIONAL (longer strands with easy-to-handle grips), SHOW (medium to short strand balls with various "hidden" grips, or TOSS (short strand "puff-balls" with no grip). The various grips and strand patterns follow. A nearly infinite selection of strand width and length, colors and finishes (matte, "wet-look", "neon", metallic, iridescent, holographic, fluorescent), strand cluster patterns and inserts ("glitter", iris), and shapes (rings, shakers, custom) is possible. Contact GTS early if samples are desired.
GRIPS
Most requested P grips, left to right: N, K, AE, A, BK, B, X, KYY, NYY
Grips are designed for strand capacity, strand appearance, and user convenience; therefore, some grips are suitable for only smaller quantities of strands (fullness), while others only extra fullness. NOTE: The aluminum coating on metallic poms yields a thicker strand, permitting fewer strands (fullness) to fit in a selected grip.

Place pompon upside down on a table or in your lap. Starting from center, separate and crush small bundles of strands, crumpling them firmly as though you were crushing paper into a ball. Continue around and outward until the entire pom is crushed and wrinkled, forcing strands apart thus enlarging the pom.
