F.A.Q
What exactly is XGrip?
The XGrip is our in-house innovation, unique on the market: a non-slip rubber grip, directly integrated into the stick. Patented, it fits the natural shape of your hand and ensures optimal grip, even when your hands are sweaty or the stage is heating up. Control without tinkering, without compromise, signed ProOrca.
Why are we the only ones offering this?
Because at ProOrca, we prefer to invent rather than copy. We spent years developing this process, finding the right material, the right texture, and the right position so the grip doesn't interfere with your game. It's a ProOrca exclusive, made in our workshop. You won't find it anywhere else.
Who is the XGrip collection for?
For those who want to maintain control without forcing it. If you've ever experienced a stick slipping in the middle of a solo, or fingers cramping up because of a varnished handle, the XGrip is for you. Whether you're a pro or beginner, performing live or in class, it's the ideal stick for staying calm in all conditions.
Doesn't the rubber interfere with the feel of the wood?
Not at all. The rubber was designed to be discreet, flexible, and non-sticky. You maintain natural contact with the wood while enjoying enhanced support. The grip is firm yet comfortable, and you get the same feel without compromise.
Is the grip resistant to sweat and long sessions?
That's exactly why we created it! It won't degrade, won't slip, and retains its properties even after hours of play. You can sweat all you want: the XGrip holds firm.
Can you play electronic drums with the XGrip?
Yes, absolutely. The rubber doesn't damage the pads, and the wood finish remains the same. You get the same grip whether you're playing on an electronic mesh head or an acoustic drumhead.
Why not just stick to a band-aid or foam grip?
Because these DIY solutions don't last: they crumble, they stick, they change the balance of the stick, and they damage your fingers. The XGrip, on the other hand, is integrated, durable, seamless, and perfectly balanced. It's clean, reliable, and most importantly, it doesn't move.
What models are available with XGrip?
The XGrip comes in several standard diameters and lengths, so there's something for everyone. You can find it on our 5A, 7A, 5B, and 5AXL sticks, featuring the same premium hickory and handcrafted construction as our other sticks.
Does the XGrip add weight to the wand?
No. The rubber is lightweight and integrated so as not to alter the natural balance of the stick. You maintain your bearings, with just the right amount of comfort.
Does the XGrip require any special maintenance?
Nothing special. A quick wipe with a soft cloth after your session is enough to remove any dust or sweat. It's designed to last as long as the wand itself.
Is the XGrip suitable for small hands?
Yes. The rubber doesn't add significant thickness to the stick, and its positioning has been designed to remain comfortable regardless of the size of your hands. Even for thin fingers, the grip is natural and the comfort is immediate.
Can the XGrip be used for jazz or subtle playing?
Yes, absolutely. Even in light or highly nuanced styles, the XGrip doesn't hinder precision. It remains discreet, doesn't stick, and doesn't disrupt ghost notes. You benefit from the extra support without losing sensitivity in your playing.
Does the XGrip help improve hitting accuracy?
Yes. Because it secures your grip without requiring excessive gripping, it allows you to maintain a more relaxed hand and a more precise stroke. The result: your strokes remain clean and consistent, even when things get faster.
Does the XGrip change the sound of the stick?
No. The rubber doesn't interfere with the part of the stick that strikes the head or cymbal. You get the same warm, natural sound of ProOrca wood, while enjoying improved sustain. The grip improves your comfort, not your tone.
Why is the XGrip a real asset for progressing?
Because it frees you from the fear of dropping the stick or tensing it unnecessarily. With a more secure, relaxed grip, you can focus on your technique, speed, and musicality. It's a detail that changes everything: by giving you confidence in your grip, the XGrip allows you to push your limits, gain fluidity, and explore more challenging grooves.
Which collar should I choose according to my style?
The neck influences the responsiveness and durability of the stick. Thin for flexibility, thick for strength.
What makes XGrip grip more effective than Vic Grip or Promark ActiveGrip?
XGrip rubber is fused directly into the wood: durable and stable, even after long sessions.
Natural wood feel preserved.
Vic Grip can wear out or become sticky, and ActiveGrip sticks with heat, sometimes bothering the hand
