Bull Rope Plait Guide

Back

 

9 Plait: this is the most popular plait with the professionals.  It is the hardest, tightest and most uniform of all bull rope plaits.  When braided correctly it takes the most time to braid, since we don’t take any shortcuts it does cost a little more.  Most professionals will tell you that it is well worth the extra expense.  About ¾” wide, and doesn’t stretch down much.

.BABY 9 Plait: recommended for smaller hands.  Braided hard and tight like the regular 9 plait yet with fewer threads in each plait making it measures 9/16” wide..

FANCY 7 Plait: becoming more popular than ever, it is about as wide as a 9 plait but is softer and spongier in your hand

MUSHY 5 Plait: becoming one of the most popular Plaits available.  This is a wide loose braid that is commonly over an inch wide before pulling.  But becomes much narrower when pulled while still keeping the super spongy feel and formability in your hand

5 Plait: this is a popular plait with up and coming competitors.  Similar in width, but more course than the fancy 7 plait yet it is also very mushy.  It is the fastest plait to braid and the least expensive
