The Prusik head single column tie integrates the gripping properties of the Prusik knot into the foundational structure of a single column tie. This creates a cuff that has the ability to bind tightly when under tension and can slide easily when the rope is slack. 

This single column tie has the added benefit of being able to be prepared beforehand so you can have it ready to use. This characteristic is especially important for beginners who are still nervous about tying their partner up and are looking for ways to have as much of their ties ready before the session. 

It's important to be aware of just how much tension is necessary for the single column to lock and how much slack is required for it to become loose so you fully understand how to use this tie. The best way to understand this is to experience it. So prepare this tie and wrap it around your ankle. Be mindful of how it feels like when you pull the rope. Is it uncomfortable? How do the ropes feel like against your skin? Can you control exactly how large the cuff is?

Combining both the binding aspects of a single column tie and the dynamic adjustability of the Prusik knot, this tie becomes a versatile tool in a shibari practitioner's repertoire.

Have fun tying!
