Cannot afford x-pole or lil mynx. Suggestions?
-
Permanent platinum stages poles start at 150$. You might also be able to get a 10% discount for being a member of SV and if not they usually have sales around all major holidays. If you want a removable multi piece that wont kill you you are going to have to pay more though.

I SAW those same poles on amazon I was thinking of buying one
-
You have to remember that not only are you buying a quality pole, you are buying customer service. I have had my pole for a few years now and know that I can contact X Pole at any time if I have an issue with it and get replacement parts. Try doing that on a cheap knock off. You may be able to get replacements if something is not right when you get it, but later down the road you are SOL.

OMG- customer service is SOOOOOOOO important! I have Xpoles in my studio and they have been AMAZING every time I've had issues and had to call them. Definitely buy a quality pole. It'll be worth it in the long run for long lasting but you will also be able to get a return investment if you ever decide to sell.

You wont regret saving up and buying a quality pole like the SV or xpole! We've heard many stories of girls buying a cheap pole only to have it break or even injure them. As the ladies mentioned, customer service can be such a help and both poles have good service.

I agree, customer service is extremely important.
I'll also point out that the poles we're recommending (Xpole and Lil Mynx/SV Pole) are tried and tested, and we all feel safe with them. Of course, you'll get some great reviews for those knock-off poles as well, but… do you really want to risk your future safety?
Good reviews are based on a LACK of accidents, and you don't want to be one of those people who experience an accident. The poles we say are "good" or "reputable" are often used by thousands of women, if not millions, and are often used for many years. I had my previous Lil Mynx for five years, and sold it to a friend- it's life is definitely longer than 5 years! My current one I could see having for a very, very long time.
But those other poles… while you get good reviews, like I said, they're based on a lack of problems. Keeping in mind that probably half or more of the people who do have problems are not putting up reviews online, and you start to see why we're worried… hearing about the horror stories and the issues we've all seen from these cheap poles, and knowing that's only a fraction of what actually happens?
YES there are people who like those poles… but that would change in an instant if they fail due to faulty design, plastic parts, or simple inability to deal with the stress, and then cause an injury. All of a sudden, a "good review" turns into a horror story of someone potentially becoming injured in a very expensive and perhaps permanent way.

ADawn86 – How large of a test base is there for this pole? Does the company make anything other than poles, or is this all they're dedicated to? Are they aware of what we intent to do with them (as in, aerial inverts, Iron X's, high-speed spins)?
I'd love to say that you might have a new potential for the pole dance industry… but I'd need to know a lot more about them!
-
Where is the phone number for this company? Can I talk to a human being about my purchase? Do they have a warranty? What about all of the bad reviews (and even some if the good) that say the pole is bowed?
It seems to me (from reading the reviews) that this would be a GOOD “grind pole” and if you’re lucky it might do for some basic tricks. But I wouldn’t trust it with my life. Save up an extra 100$ and get a basic X-pole/lil Mynx/PS pole. -
ADawn86, seems like the only reason you are on here is to say how great this company and this cheap knock off is.
-
The "D-Pole" is most definitely the knock-off 45mm X-Pole. There is no such thing as an "unbranded X-Pole". It is a FAKE and a COPY.
-
I'm beginning to think there are people trolling these forums with the only intent to promote these lesser poles.
-
Funny, I can't see any posts by this ADawn86, I presume the consensus was they were not suitable for here and thus removed?
Interesting indeedy.

Based on several factors including but not limited to the content of responses, IP address and registration date we decided that ADawn86 was not providing valid information for this topic.
I can't stress enough that this is not a judgement call regarding the pole that she espoused but instead a reasonable assumption that she was a paid representative of the pole manufacturer.
