The main differences between smithy cord and FPC cord are the thickness, weight and rigidity.
Smithy:
- discovered by LanternSmith for poi spinning
- 6mm 12-strand braided polyester rope
- supple, low stretch, no shrinkage
- comes standard with most flowtoys poi since end 2019

- it's custom made to our specs to feel like VPC rope, currently the most popular and versatile high end rope for poi manipulation.
- FPC has all the qualities that people love about VPC = no shrinkage, no stretch, water resistant, super durable
- It's much easier to cut and adjust than VPC = just cut and melt, no need to epoxy
- versatile = good for both poi spinning and juggling (smithy is good for spinning, but not juggling and static is good for juggling, but not spinning)
