Beginners pole: Natural Brass

It is actually possible she was just trying to get me to buy the studios poles. She sells the poles that the studio uses…so I was actually thinking that. I’m liking the SV pole the more I think about it…I tend to have sweaty hands though, would that hinder me on a powder coated pole?
Curse my clammy, yet still sweaty hands. /:

Sweaty palms will curse you no matter what pole finish you use. However, powder-coat, brass, and possibly titanium gold will be easier to grip than stainless steel or chrome. Your instructor is probably trying to make a sale, but also possibly considering what finish may be most comfortable for you and may help you advance in class because it’s the same kind.
Personally, I would absolutely buy one of Veena’s awesome new poles if I could afford to right now. Brass leaves an old penny smell on the hands, it tears the hell outta my skin, and I think I actually have a sensitivity to it because I blister whenever I use a brass pole. Do not like brass. Still, I am not you, just explaining what I prefer.
Btw, a 45mm may feel more comfortable on your small hands. Just be aware it may be a little more difficult on a 50mm if that’s all they have in class and you’re used to practicing at home on a 45mm. I prefer 50mm chrome myself, but I am a tall girl with extremely dry hands. 😉

i have a powder coated pole & a brass pole. the powder coated is super grippy! the brass is grippy too but powder coated is easier to care for & you can be a little rougher with the surface 😉 i have a stainelss pole too & it is real slippery. i would go for the 45mm if you can, that's gonna be way easier to grip too!
