Lol! Cathedrals are pretty good I must say! Haven’t had any issues with them as of yet! And I’ve put them through some horrendous times it must be said!
But still, I haven’t tried out monkey fists yet, so I think I’ll throw my caution to the wind, like a bad sandwich!

It is possible theoretically, the only issues if you pulled it off would be the weight of the flag its self, you’d need a super heavy weight on the end for it to "flow" like a normal flag does which will make it even heavier and harden to spin, also, the flames going to be massive, so if you stop, your hands are gone lol!!

i have a set of the HoP monkey fists and they are fantastic, beautiful flames and i burn them every week 5-6 times, soaked them in parrafin for 24 hours before the first burn too. cathedrals give a much larger flame but thats all it is, monkeyfists give a nice "fire ball" effect and in my opinion look nicer. i regularly do doubles poi with a mate who burns caths all the time so iv gotten public views on them too from non spinners Smile
