38mm compared to 45mm pole
Is 38mm alot different to 45mm? I am looking to get a proper brass pole after finding out my xpole brass is a "finish" not true brass (no wonder its slippery!) and I found a place that sells 38mm brass. It sounds tempting, I would imagine my handsprings and strength moves would feel better on it, but are leg holds a lot harder on 38? Who uses 38 here, do you find it hard to use a 45mm after 38? Ta

I have use a 38mm and loved it! It is challenge for some leg holds but it was really fun! It does feel a LOT smaller than my 45 though. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_harry.gif

We have 38mm and 50mm at my studio and I own a 45mm. I find leg holds to still be easy on 38mm but I'm also fairly petite. We instructors usually try a new move on the 38mm first and then move onto the 50mm. It just feels safer somehow.
As for the jump from 38mm to 45mm, it is a significant difference. If you're thinking of competiting or performing, I would advise having both sizes. It's rough jump from 38mm to 45mm. You don't get as many rotations on a spin, etc.

Hey Shellectra!
Yep, I’ve got a 45mm Chrome X-Pert and use the 38mm Brass Pussycat Pole at my studio. =)
I find the leg holds are ok on the 38mm and as for gripping with my hands, the 38mm is really A LOT better than the 45mm!
It’s perfect for little hands!I love the 38mm! =) Fly to Sydney for a wkend and try it out at Bobbi’s Pole Studio!! ;p

Just thought I'd let you know, Reenie aka Mysfit told me she managed to bend her 38mm brass pole. Keep that in mind. Brass is a soft metal.

She actually has pictures of it in her photo album.
