Need advice on buying a pole…
Ok…so I have only used brass 50mm poles before, and want to purchase a pole for my house..I used an chrome x-pole for the first time yesterday,it was alright..but I think I like the brass better..has anyone used both,what are your comparisions? Any any poles will help too,brands also…finding a portable brass pole in the us is hard,that is the other problem I am running into..I want a REAL brass pole,not a brass coated..any suggestions….please..I really want a good pole and want one soon…thanks

You should consider a titanium gold pole. The grip is great, I just had the pleasure of trying it earlier this month and really loved it.

Everybody has their favorites when it comes to poles. Took a workshop last weekend with brass poles and could not do a thing on them as I kept sliding to the floor. I have the most consistent grip on chrome but that is me. I will also say that no 2 pole manufacturers are the same. Brass from PS is totally different than from X and poledanzer as is stainless between LM, PD, PD and X.

Maybe I will have to go try a brass pole again….it has been awhile since I used one…I just still think I am going to like the feel of it better than the chrome..it has a softer feel…I am just afraid to spend this kind of money to not like the pole..I know I like brass,but I guess that is because that is all I know..

Find out where they bought their poles. If you like the grip of them, see if you can get a pole from that company. That would be best. Many girls have said the x pole brass is a little slicker than the other brands because it is a brushed brass, while pole danzer and PS makes a polished brass.

@ polefitmom, I just found out that a studio in my town has titanium gold poles from x pole…so I am going to go try them out in the next couple of weeks…I have to take an intro class to learn how to hold the pole and they only teach that class twice a week, and my kids have off school next Monday and the other day is sat, and I have a family thing…bummer,so it will be 2 weeks..but I am stoked to know I can try the pole before I buy it..I hope it is like the brass..and x pole has brass,but only in 45mm,which stinks…but it is much more expensive too and a brushed brass not polished…

As much as I LOVE xpole – I am not as excited about their brass poles as I thought I would be. It was very different than a polished brass. I will say, I prefer the chrome pole for myself – Maybe because I learned on chrome, and most likely because brass is too grippy for me. But I am very excited that you get to test the TG pole to see how your body chemistry works with it :o) There is nothing worse than spending a huge chunk of change on something you are so excited about and not have it work the way you expected.

its weird because I never found brass being grippy..I mean, it was when I needed it to be,but was able to spin and manuever great on it..my arm is so bruised from the chrome pole..I don’t know if I was overcompisating my holds,but a few times my skin was getting pinched and I vever had that happen on brass..it is just weird how different people react to differnt poles..but yes I am very glad I get to try it before I spend the money..hopefully it will work,if not,back to square one..

Ideally you should try several different pole types.
A word of warning. There have been girls who have reacted to the nickle in the x poles. I have a nickle allergy and I was fine, but there is that possiblility there. The metal on the poles is a plating, so it rubs off with time, so the nickle exposure it there if you have a severe allergy.
-
I don’t believe I have an allergy…just bruising…I have bruising on my legs as well,which I have gooten before when I first started pole dancing and when I stopped and went back..just never had pinched my skin like that on my arm..I didn’t glide the way I did on tha brass..that is why is weird to hear that brass is grippier..maybe I am just used to brass..I just can’t wait to find a pole and have one @ home..getting anxious and jealous of everyone on here..lol

Are there any studios that have poles other than brass that you could play on to test out?

FYI, there are actually a several portable brass pole companies in the US…
Platinum stages (50mm and 45mm)
Pole Danzer (50mm only)
Aradia Poles (stationary only 50mm and 38mm)
canada, but shipping is reasonable:
action poles (stationary only 50mm and 38mm)

I want a 50mm stationary..I talked with Pole Danzer this morning…I just wish the pole didn’t have the platform..I looked @ action,they are more expensive and shipping is more,but if it is what I want..I can’t pull up the other site…and I heard bad things abt platinum stages customer service..altho I have talked with them,and have to say,they are pretty nice there..I do want a pole that I can mount to the ceiling but remove it…I just feel safer..the whole tension thing scares me,no matter how many people say it is safe..

We use only real, genuine brass and real stainless steel. We never use brass coating. There is a huge difference between real, genuine brass and brass coated poles.

Hi everyone had some great suggestions! Its always a good idea to try other finishes if you can. My favorite finish in the Titanium gold. I do like brass but not the smell it leaves on you. If you want super grip you can try a powder coated pole too. We sell x pole here if your interested. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gifhttps://www.studioveena.com/shopping

The bad stories about PS have spread like wild fire. All the pole companies have had issues. I advise you to contact the companies and ask them questions.
If you want a pole that is 50mm stationary, then aradia will be what you want BUT it is a 1 piece (but so is action poles.)

Platinum stages and pole danzer are the only 2 with multi piece options, but multi piece poles aren't NEARLY as good.
