40mm X-Pole
Hey Veeners:) I got an email from XPole recently about their new 40mm poles. I’m curious, these ARE in the US, yes? I’m thinking of gettingo one.. But I was wondering if anyone had one of gets one sometime in the future, if they could post a picture? I’d like to see how different it is compared to a 45. Thanks:)

Hey Riddle! I know xpole has their poles made in China (not sure if that was what you mean by “they ARE in the us”) if you wanted brass, xpole only coats their poles with a brass finish.
Platinum Stages is U.S. made and is genuine brass (not coated) they just came out with a 38mm too and also have 45 and 50mm.. Hope I could help… 🙂 happy new years hun! -
Brass is not a coating. Titanium gold is.

From my understanding xpole’s brass poles are not 100% brass. Brass can be a coating for stainless steel, aluminum, iron, copper, regular steel, and many other metals… Brass is very durable and extends the life of whatever metal its covering… Brass in its form alone, is a mixture of copper and zinc. That is why a pure brass pole is better than a “plated” brass pole (P.S. vs. Xpole) because like any other coated metal, it will eventually wear off… It may take years for a brass coated pole to start wearing down, but why not just invest in a pure brass pole..?. Many things are “coated” with brass. For example- chains on some purses can be coated with brass,- wires for air condition units, different screws and hardware… The list goes on

XPole brass are not coated however I believe that they may have a steel core for extra support. Brass is a very soft metal so for XPole to be able to use their x joint technology and also have an adjustable pole it cannot be "all brass". Even Platinum Stages brass pole is partially steel on the inside.

I believe these are in Ireland now. SO excited. I'm going to get one once I get the all clear from the doc to keep practicing. Hooray!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gifhttps://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

I forgot to add that chemgoddess. 🙂 you are right about the steel core… What I meant to say that with xpole brass the coating is usually only an 1/8 inch thick as where anything more than not is not considered a coating

Brass is an alloy– a combination of primarily copper and zinc. There is no set proportion for these metals, and there is no such thing as "pure brass"– It's like saying "pure grey" or "pure combination". Xpole brass poles are brass through and through; the reason why they are different from PS brass is that they use a different proportion of copper and zinc, and they use a different level of polishing as well. PS uses a combo that results in a softer alloy (as does poledanzer) than xpole, so they use a steel core.
I'm sorry to be rude but i'm not sure where people are getting their information; i've seen a lot of blatantly WRONG "information" posted about poles and it's really frustrating. a lot of peple read these forums and rely on this information to guide their purchase of a $300+ item, and it doesn't help anyone to spread incorrect statements. it's important that we share opinions if that is what is called for– which pole you prefer is entirely up to you and you can say what you feel. but if you aren't sure, please think twice before you post; it results in confusion.

I need to calirfy that Platinum Stages uses only real, genuine brass and we do not line our brass poles with steel nor do we use a steel core.
Other companies may use brass plating and other metals, but we do not. We use only real, genuine brass and have been for over 10 years.
I will be posting a picture of the cross section of our brass poles so you can see that we have no steel lining.

The 40mm are being sold here in the us..they just started selling them..and xpole is titanium gold plated..it is not brass @ all..it is a coating that is electrically charged to simulate the grip of brass..if u want a brass pole,get brass,there is nothing like a REAL brass pole..
-
sorry, haha i was bitching about people posting wrong info and my post was super unclear– POLEDANZER brass poles ship with a steel core.
-
Thanks Platinum Stages for validating that yall’s poles are made of “pure brass” with no steel core. I orginally thought there was no steel core in P.S.brass poles, but then wasnt a 100% sure so i assumed there was a steel core after reading others comments. Always go with first instincts from first hand knowledge. Thanks again for the clarification
