    I’m wondering if any of you use a 40′ pole…I have a 45 but I’m wondering if gripping would be much easier with the 40, anyone? Pros and cons ?

    I’m also interested in this, I’m looking to move down from a 45mm to a 40mm. I have smaller hands and find one handed spins nearly impossible on a 45. Maybe that is dramatic though. 😛

    I thought about getting one for my studio but I was afraid it might be harder for newbies to hang on to the thing I go a 45 inch since I could only afford one to start with I would be interested in hearing what others though about the 40 before I make my next purchase. I too have smaller hands and do well with a 45 but at the studio I attend for classes they have 8 50’s and one 45 and I can do most things on the 50 now but I still find more stability in a 45. Guess who is always in class early though to get the 45.

    A week ago I sold my 45 and bought 40 Crome. My grip is now much solid!i can perform longer-). So happy now-))

    I thought xpole did a brass 40mm? I use a 40mm chrome at home (there are pictures on my profile of my hands in comparison to it if that helps) and 38mm brass at the studio. I love skinny poles, and can’t even imagine poling on a thicker pole 🙂

    The only 40mm they have available right now is chrome. I’m attempting to be patient but it’s not working 🙂

    Maybe they only have 40mm brass in Australia?

    Ur hands will LOVE the 40. All ur other body parts, maybe not so much. The new chrome finish from xpoleus is pretty great too, so I think you may as well go with that. Their brass 45 is so flimsy & wobbly I can only imagine how much worse the 40 brass will be, in general, nevermind on spin mode. I doubt you’ll be happy, just go with the chrome.

    I don’t understand how the finish would make a difference in terms of it being wobbly?
    My 40mm is a chrome, and I still love it 🙂

    Chrome is over steel whereas brass is brass. These two materials have very different properties, the main one being brass is a rather soft material which equals much more give (wobble).

    oh like pole flex? I guess that makes sense. my chrome flexes like crazy, (probably because it’s so tall) but you don’t really notice it when you’re on the pole, I think. and then the brass poles we have at the studio are permanently mounted so I guess they don’t flex too much.

    The 40 chrome isn’t on the US site anymore :-/

    Well now I’m just confused. Xpoleus has a 48mm pink silicone pole now?!?!

    XPole has been showing this pole at events for almost a year now. I think they are probably updating their website which is probably why you are not seeing some items one day and then seeing others the next.
