How to Wear Your Floky NO STRAIN Sleeve — A Quick-Start Guide
Watch this video!
You’ve got the sleeve, you’ve watched the 40-second demo above, and you’re ready for that sweet vibration-damping relief. Follow the checklist below and you’ll be in your game-day “flow-state” in less than a minute.
1. Pick the right size (don’t skip this!)
-
Measure your relaxed biceps midway between shoulder and elbow.
-
Match the number to Floky’s chart
-
T1 (XS-S): 8.7 – 9.4 in
-
T2 (M-L): 9.8 – 11.4 in
-
T3 (L-XL): 11.8 – 13 in
-
T4 (XXL): > 13 in floky.us
-
-
If you’re between sizes, size down for performance play, up for all-day wear.
2. Identify the “anatomical” side
-
Lay the sleeve flat.
Logo + silicone “tape” graphics = inside forearm, above palm.
Arrow tip should point toward your hand.
Tip: The textured silicone strips belong on the lateral (thumb) side of your forearm; that’s where racket- and paddle-sport vibration is biggest.
3. Slip it on—no wrestling required
| Step | What you see in the video | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| A | Athlete bunches the sleeve at the wide (biceps) end | Gather the top 2–3 in of fabric to create a “doughnut.” |
| B | Hand slides in, palm first | Insert your hand and thumb, then pull the sleeve over the wrist. |
| C | Arrow aligns with forearm extensor | Rotate the sleeve so the arrow sits on the top-inside of the forearm. |
| D | Fabric settles just above the elbow crease | Tug the biceps cuff until the upper edge is 1–2 in below your Shoulder. |
| E | Final smoothing | Run your palm up and down the sleeve to remove wrinkles. |
4. Fit-check in 10 seconds
-
Flex your elbow to 90 °.
-
Squeeze two fingers under the biceps cuff. They should fit snugly but without digging.
-
Pinch the wrist cuff; it should rebound instantly.
-
Shake out your arm—no tingling, no slipping? You’re good to go.
5. Common questions
| Question | Quick answer |
|---|---|
| It feels tight—normal? | Mild compression is essential, but you should never lose circulation. Swap sizes if fingers tingle after 5 min. |
| Right vs. left arm? | Sleeves are interchangeable; just keep the logo facing palm floky.us |
| Can I stack it over a long-sleeve shirt? | Direct-to-skin contact is best. A base layer will weaken the biomechanical taping effect. |
| How often should I wash it? | Cold machine-wash inside-out after 3–4 wears; air-dry only. floky.ca |
6. Care & longevity tips
-
After play: Turn the sleeve inside-out to let sweat evaporate.
-
Wash: Cold (30 °C / 86 °F) • gentle cycle • no fabric softener.
-
Dry: Flat air-dry—never tumble-dry or iron; heat degrades the silicone prints.
7. Why perfect wear matters
Proper orientation keeps the patented biomechanical tape system exactly where Floky’s lab testing shows the biggest vibration peaks occur, leading to:
-
Up to 30 % less tendon vibration during swings
-
Faster micro-circulation → quicker recovery
-
Noticeably less arm fatigue after long sessions floky.uspickleballunion.com
