    I finally have enough money to buy a pole! But I just measured my ceilings at 7 ft. 1 in. They are very low and the minimum I am seeing on most poles is 7 ft 4 in. Any advice on how to solve this delima?

    yeppers!! lilmynx does custom size, just make sure you have a ceiling stud to put a screw into. i have low ceilings too, barely 7 ft. and i called LM and gave them the ceiling measurement and within a week, got my custom pink powdercoated pole and i love it!!!! lilmynx.com is the site and the price is very reasonable

    LM is definatley a legit strong one piece pole if you are wondering, they are used in studios also.  and they have rotator which is what i have for spin mode when u get more advanced. plus there r three colors to choose from or stainless steel. i wud go with powdercoat if you think you want a grippy pole.

    You can also use/order an X with different extensions.  The standard A and B piece are about 40" but you can get extensions any where from 100mm (~4 inches) to 1000 mm (~40 inches).

    You can do several things. What Rixi and Chem mentioned are definite possibilities. Platimun stages makes a 1 piece custom cut pole that spins.

    You can also get a 1 or 2 piece pole from pole danzer that is custom cut to your ceiling height:

    Action poles is another company that is an option. They only make stationary brass poles, but they are also custom cut to your ceiling height. They are a canadian company.

    I have a 1 piece brass platinum stages pole and I really love it. I took the adjuster sleeve off and made it a top loading pole. 🙂 You can see pix of it on my profile.

    Thanks everyone. I went with the Xpert with an extention since I move around a lot and did not want to invest in a custom fit pole that I could only use in one spot. Woohoo, I am sooo excited!
