40mm X-Pole
-
madision Xpole makes 4 types of poles. Chrome. Stainless Steel. Titanum Gold, and Brass. The call the Titanum Gold TG and the Brass brass. Now the brass is a newer option so maybe your not aware that they added it to the line up.

To All: Please bring this thread back on topic. This is a discussion of the 40mm X-Pole. There are several threads regarding brass poles, care and composition.

Trust me Chemmie…it did freak me out. I was walking around the pole holding it when the pole tilted sideways…we turned the stage over and that is what I saw. This was just moments after I finished a series of inverted moves and, as I said, my third day on the pole at an exposition which I had specifically purchased it for. Probably about 6 hours of poling per day.
You can see from the picture that it broke right at the point where the hole is drilled through the pole – so it was underneath the stage surface. And it wasn't bent but just snapped like it shattered.
My point was I was told I obviously didn't know much about poles because I should have requested it be reinforced when I ordered it because brass isn't strong enough.

Sorry webmaster..I was typing when you wrote and I'm a slow typer! 🙂

I agree with the webmaster that this has gotten off topic and we should all stick to the topic at hand. However, I feel like it is only fair that I get to respond to all the things that are completely false.
Platinum Stages is a manufacturer and we’ve been in business for over 10 years. We’ve been selling brass for over 10 years. Since we are a manufacturer and we’ve invented new products, we’re able to constantly update, upgrade and technologically advance our products. Our original stage was the very FIRST freestanding pole ever to come out. We invented freestanding poles and we set the standard for freestanding poles on the market. As technology has advanced, so have our products and we continually improve and advance our products.
I have never once mentioned X-pole’s type of brass and I’ve never commented on their products. X-pole is not the only other pole company aside from Platinum Stages on the market. It is no secret that some companies DO powder coat or plate their poles. Again, I never have said that this is a negative or positive thing. In fact, I’ve seen posts about people getting their uncoated poles “powder coated” and I’ve never said that this is a negative thing. It is a personal preference. Since we do not powder coat our products, I can only speak on behalf of our products and I can only state the facts.
@ – We do not make an adjuster rod or an adjuster cover. We do make a screw thread and a coupler (pieces that attach the pole) that connect the pole and those are made of steel. The actual POLE (and the danceable area of the pole) is made of only brass.

Actually ps made a rectangular stage..then XPOLE made a round stage & stage lite.. then you made a round stage lite/ star stand alone. So PS may have created the first stage but it certainly didnt mind using the enigineering of another company, needless to say i dont think PS sets the standard for the portable pole … Call it what you like, coupler or adjuster cover or whatever else.. it isnt brass.. nor should it be brass… unless we want this to happen

@Platinum Stages – Frankly I expect more from a leader in the pole community. You have shown our members and us no respect by further posting along a line of discussion I had asked to be ceased. Only children seek the last word on an issue, grown-ups understand that a well reasoned argument stands on its own.

@All – I apologize for what this thread has descended into and the spam it may have caused in your inbox. This thread will be locked after this post and I hope that someone will start a new thread discussing the 40mm X-Pole. I would also encourage anyone who'd like to discuss the various properties of brass, brass's effect on pole dancing or any aspect of pole quality to please dig up one of the many threads about these topics or start a new one.
