Getting Ready to buy my first pole.
Hi!
I’m new here and will be purchasing my first pole. I would like the pole to be removable but hardware that stays in the wall or floor is fine. I need the pole to hold all 185 pounds of me and our ceilings are 8 feet tall. Do any of you have the studio veena pole? What poles do you guys recommend? I used to do dance and gymnastics and I am very excited to get my body back! I want the pole to be sturdy and safe for spins, tricks etc. Any advice is much appreciated!
Thanks!

Hey there!
When it comes to poles, you’ll want to look at the “top three,” those being: Lil’ Mynx (who makes the Studio Veena pole), Xpole, and Platinum Stages. These three are trusted in this industry, and have proven to have stable, sturdy product.
Personally, I have always danced on Lil Mynx- currently my pole is the Studio Veena pole, and I’m very fond of it. The powder coating provides me a lot of grip, especially compared to my previous Stanless Steel, and I like the fact that it has an option to spin. I’ve never had issues with the bolt into the ceiling. Upon moving, I simply fill it in and no one notices! There is a bit of a squeak on spin mode, which… either I’ve gotten so used to that I don’t notice it, or it may have worked itself out? I’m not sure!
Xpole has a lot of very loyal dancers, and I’m sure that people more experienced can tell you about them.
Same with Platinum stages, haha.
You can also check out their websites to get a feel for pricing, and what they offer, especially at your ceiling height.I’m positive that all three of these types of poles will be able to hold your weight- I am sure that they’re at least up to 250lbs, and I have personally been about 185lbs while dancing at one point.
Just… don’t go with something cheap. Don’t go on e-bay unless you’re an absolute hound, and be very careful about knockoffs, especially Xpole- I’ve heard a lot about cheap knockoffs selling themselves as Xpole.
Anything like the Carmen Electra pole, or any other less expensive poles, is a ripoff. I’ve seen these things bend and flex, even fall down during spins. They’re NOT safe.Good luck with your choice! And I wish you lots of luck!

I have an x pole and I love it. I am also very curious about the studio veena pole. How does the coating make the grip better? Right now I am way to new to even think about purchasing another pole, but if they day comes I am very interested in this product. Any other observations about it?

Our Powder coating makes for a very consistent grip, and it’s the only pole that switches from static to spin with the push of a button, and the BACK to static by lifting the button up. It’s also super fast and easy to put up and remove, it takes some muscle to do it, but I love how convenient it is!

I wish I could afford a second pole, this does seem to be a very easy install. I also love the color purple.
