45mm or 50mm?

I think the overall consensus seems to be… It depends on your situation/body chemistry/climate. And I would have to agree with that conclusion.
R pole, bobbi’s and Aradia all have 38’s. The argument is that they (the 38’s) are easier on your wrists/easier to grip and you will build core strength faster. If you are focusing onhandsprings I would say the smaller the better. Otherwise a thicker pole will be more comfortable.
As far as the grip surface goes I don’t think it really matters anymore. The grip aides available now are amazing and learning how to use them properly is an asset if you will be performing (on God knows what pole/surface/climate)
All that being said I have a 50mm Steel PS pole but I am beginning to wish I had a 38mm. -
