what make is PS? sorry, I don't know it…. I've used 38, 40, 45 and 50mm poles and I'd say 40 or 45 is the best for me (I have small hands). The smaller the poles get, the easier the grip but the 38 kinda felt like it was a bit too thin – especially for my legs but it's down to personal preference really. Leg holds won't be more difficult, you will just feel more pressure on the contact points because of the reduced thickness of the pole

I'm pretty sure "upandover" has a 38mm brass action pole that she likes. She could give you some input as well. You might want to message her. I can tell you going from a 50 to a 45 was interesting, but not too hard. I just had to squeeze my legs more than I was used to, but that is good cuz it builds more strength. The diameter difference between the 50(2") and 45 (1.75") is the same between the 45 (1.75") and 38 (1.5"), so you would just have to squeeze that much more. Bobbi's poles in Australia uses all 38mm and they do some awesome stuff on them. One thing that is cool is the smaller diameter poles are easier to wrap yourself around, so it would be easier to do a ballerina on a 38 than a 45, and easier on a 45 than a 50. Look up Bobbi's poles and watch some of their stuff. I think having experience in the differenct pole daimeters is really a good thing (as well as the finishes.) You were interested in a brass anyways; you could always get a 38mm brass when it comes out (which should be soon.) 🙂

thanks sensual and thats probly what ill do!

is bobbi’s poles on here or youtube??

If you watch any of the Pole Dance Australia videos those are the small poles. I think Angel of Discoveries Dance built one in her house.
-
also, if you watch Luckygirl1220 or webstwe on on youtube, or any videos from Brassy Butterfly, those are 1.5" poles. They are custom built 15' coated spinners.

Here are the vids on youtube of Bobbi's:

I own a 38mm brass spinny pole (thats what I use in all my vids) and I love it. But its all ive ever known – I trained at Bobbis Pole Studio in Sydney and all their poles are 38mm. In fact I think most Austrlian Pole Comps (Like Miss Pole Dance Australia) use38mm – so they're very popular over here. Brass is graet for grip, it doesnt rust – but it is expensive. Theoretically, it should be easier for us to grip a pole with our hands thats smaller, but im not sure about leg holds… But when Alethea Austin was in Oz recently she said 38mm brass spinny is now her favourite kind of pole…. and I assume she has tried most… so there u go. Hope that helps.
