Lil Mynx?

Oops sorry to add more, but I put some misinformation in one of my posts… LM poles are stainless steel. I think I was thinking too hard about the powder-coated option. My bad!
-
I’ve had a LM Stainless 50mm, and couldn’t do a thing on it, got an Xpole chrome 45mm, same thing. Now I have a LM red powder coated, and love it! I feel invincible on that thing! Lol! Everyone is different, so what works for some doesn’t necessarily work for others. I have super dry skin so the extra grippiness of the powder coated pole really works for me.

Corby, why do u think the pole came down> Not tite enuf?
-
I had my LM for 3+ years and never once had it come down on me. I am 5'8" and at heaviest 165 lbs. I had it on concrete, over a piece of panelling and also on carpet and never once had it slide.
The OLD instructions had you tightening the pole more once it was up and in place and if you continued turning the pole past tight it would eat into the drywall of your ceiling. In time the drywall would give out where it was scored and cause a gap thus causing an unstable pole. If you check your pole, and I mean ANY pole, on a regular basis you should be fine.
I had thrown all sorts of power moves on my LM and if people are looking for a safe, inexpensive first pole this is who I recommend.

I love my Lm, except I wish the came in 40……

My powder coated. I have used SS n they r slick as heck!

lilmynx is a great pole! Especially for the price. I have had both. I actially like the LM better than the x pole because it is a 1 piece. No messing with joints. It is easier to put up and take down. It requires one screw into the ceiling though.
I personally like stainless…I actually did a write up on it on our flexine blog. I'll be posting it here a little later today.

btw, I have never had the pad sklide on me. If you have the pole tightened enough it should NOT slide.
-
btw, I should note that I have now had an x pole and PS 1 piece slip on me. I have not had a LM slip.

@gail, I am not sure. I am the least familiar with LM as I have never owned one, just used them at a studio and a friend’s house. I have had one come down during a performance (no biggie, I landed on my feet from a spin) and it was put up incorrectly, one hundred percent. Not stable and not tight enough. Xpole has also come down on me but again, not properly checked, etc. of my personal poles, none have ever come down. I think no matter the pole a majority of the time, coming down is a user error. Not always. But a lot of the time.

I had my PERMANENT pole fall down….any pole can come down if its not installed right. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cop.gif We neglected to account for carpet when we measured for the permanent pole.

Thanks so much for the info! This is a great site!

If you like to use spin pole, I would NOT get a lil mynx. Mine would come out of the mount! Very dangerous!!! I now use X Poles and love them!!
-
I love my LM powder-coated pole. I have one at home and it's what I use at the studio, and I've never had trouble with either coming down during use. Like some of the other posters said, it's just a matter of making sure they're mounted properly. I've seen spins, doubles routines and major moves pulled on LM poles with no problem, and mine stays put on a non-carpeted floor even without the pad underneath. ut yes, you do have to mount it into your ceiling (it has just one screw in a mount that is meant to look like a plant hook when the pole isn't attached).

I have used X, PS and LM…and I must say that my home go to pole is a LM powder coated black spinner LOVE IT – so grippy and easy to deal with! I have both a PS & X at home but I don't ever use them lol
