I’m hearing mixed things on the best temperature conditions to dance in. Things aren’t picking up with my TG 45mm as I hoped for. I can’t practice any moves besides spins, because my hands and body just slides right off this pole. I’m going to have to get gloves I believe, but where’s the sex appeal in that!
Any suggestions???

I got my 50mm TG a couple of months ago. I loved it when I first got it. Never had problems with it being slick. I don’t know why but over the last couple of weeks. It seems more slick than my chrome. (humidity has been up) I usually just clean with glass cleaner. It feels like it’s got build up on it. Like a light slick film. Should I be cleaning with something else?
-
Yeah I’ve been cleaning mine with alcohol diluted with a little water, but still the pole defeats me. I know humidity has a great deal to do with it, but I’m having bad luck even when the house AC is pumping on high. I’m wondering if there is some other film coated on it that needs to eventually wear off. I’m lost!
I really needed to fight off some frustrations today with it too.

Clean the TG with Alcohol…..I had grip slip issues with my pole about a month after I had it….the weather was cold but humid and the pole seemed to grip and slip at the same time….almost like it was sweating. It didn’t last long tho.
AC will affect the poles grip…..AC tends to dry out the air. Also remember factors like your skin can affect the grip. I have dry skin and do NOT use AC so humidity gives me wonderful grip. I perspire just enough for skin to be moist but not so much I am wet with sweat. BUT if you tend to have oily skin or sweat a lot in humid weather you might slip. Things like Deodorant/antiperspirant will cause my poles grip to become poor.
I have dry skin, no AC and the 70s and humidity seems to give me super grip https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_rambo.gif

I’m from New Orleans, Louisiana and let me just say, it is so HUMID here! With that out there, I was wondering what you think about the pole I should buy. I have a 50mm chrome xpole. The studio i go to has the 45mm chrome. I totally ROCK the moves at the studio, so i really wanted to buy the 45mm. The thing is, all this talk about humidity has me so lost. It being very humid here in LA, and me having slightly sweaty hands only sometimes, which do you think would be better. Titanium or chrome 45mm? I’m so lost with the humidity factor. I know when i was a bit sweaty at the end of dance class 2 days ago, and the room was warm, the chrome 45mm almost ripped of my thigh skin (exaggeration, but you get the point, lol) but that only happened at the end, one time. usually i’m wiping thier poles down between every other move. So, what do you think? I really appreciate the advice! I cant wait to get my 45mm!! So excited! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

Like Veena my TG started getting grippy yet slick after about a month. Once I quit cleaning it with glass cleaner and swapped to alcohol it stopped. Lovin it agian. I’ll be honest though. If I had it to do all over agian I would probably have bought another chrome. I think it really just depends on what you like.

I relly want a 45mm pole and i’m torn between TG and chrome, I have a chrome 50mm and I fidn it slippy a lot of the time. I now only clean it with a microfibre cloth and elbowgrease as the glass cleaner seemed to leave a slick buildup. Im in negotiations with a guy who is selling an xpole, still in the box, an unwanted present apparently, he thinks it is 45mm and is hopefully going to check tonight and tell me whethere its TG or chrome (seems weird someone doesnt know this, but whatever!)
I was thinking I’d looove a 45mm TG, but then I mightnt like TG, so should I get it if it is chrome anyway? (which i’d say is more likely. Ah dilemma!! It’s so difficult to find second hand xpole on an island, lol, and shipping is expensive otherwise.. -
Congrats on your TG 45 mm! It sounds so awesome! I am working toward getting a TG 50 mm in late Jan. Lucky for me the xpole offices are about 15 mins from me, so I can just order it over the phone and go pick it up! I can’t wait!!!!
-
You’re so luck calipolepixie! ANother good thing about buying 2nd had is Ill get it face to face, it kills me to have to wait weeks for stuff to be delivered, especially a pole!!

I love mine too! I first started on the 50mm chrome, but when i ordered my own, i ordered the 45mm tg. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif
does anyone know if the tg fades any more than the chrome though?

I went from stainless steel to TG. I’m glad I replaced the ss but still wonder if I should have gone with chrome. I do have much better practices and accomplishments on the TG and body doesn’t get as "tore up" as when I first got it. What I really wonder is 50mm vs 45mm for me. My husband would roll his eyes https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif if I brought up 45mm ( He had me order my 50mm TG for birthday). Since I’ve never practiced on one, I don’t know difference. I definitely will stick with my TG cuz don’t want to go backwards if chrome is as slippery as ss for me. It’s funny how we are all different and finishes work differently for everyone, as well as grip aids.

I have the 50mm TG and looove it! You and I have the same skin/room types. Can’t wait to see what you do w/ your new baby. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif

Well I prefer 45mm, I have 50mm chrome at the moment and I used 45mm chrome at pole class, much easier to grip and I dont find it any harder to grip with my legs. Would love a 45mm TG, but im looking for a second hand pole, and everyone has chrome! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_sad.gif so will probably end up with chrome again, may not be a bad thing though as I still like (have never tried TG)

I wonder what the Chrome finish is like. I am currently borrowing my friend’s TG x-pole and it is so slippery, no matter what I do. It may be because the humidity out here is like…500 percent…
Im glad you like yours though^^
