    Hello everyone! I am sort of new here….I made an account awhile ago but can't remember the e-mail I used for the life of me. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_confused.gif Anyways, I have wanted to get into pole dancing for about 2 years….but money and the fact that I kept wimping out kept me away. I want to get a pole but there's no way I can afford an x-pole. 🙁 Anyone have any other suggestions? Looking at amazon I found a   PePenPePentni

    I wouldn't get anything but an X or similar. I've bought poles off of Craigslist before, is that an option?

    Don't buy a party pole. They are toy like poles only to be used for "fun". Like sparrow mentioned I would go with X pole, Platinum Stages or Lil mynx. Good luck with your poling!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

    Ok thanks for the replies. I guess I'll have to check craigslist then. The x-pole is just so expensive but I will keep looking. Thank you. 🙂

    The most expensive pole you’ll buy is one that’s a toy though, since you won’t be able to really use it. 🙂 GL!

    An Xpole sport is only about $50 more than that pole.  You can also pick up a Lil Mynx color for the same price or as the rest have said, check craigslist.

    Xpole sport? I haven't even seen one of those. I'll look for it. As well as the lil Mynx. Thank you very much everyone. 😀 I'm really looking forward to learning this and hoping I don't crack my head open in the process. LOL

    Please don’t buy a “party pole”. Those are only good for walking around and posing. They really aren’t made for throwing tricks. It would be better to wait longer and invest in a good pole.

    Look for a used pole! I think you're on the right path w Craigslist, you can also visit pole related forums and post a wanted ad! Someone may be upgrading and want to sell their old poles. I just bought one from someone on this sight.

    My lilmynx rotator was only 300 shipping and all and it’s a great quality pole! Very sturdy and one piece not flimsy like the party poles, and comparable to x pole I believe, but at a better price. I love mine because it’s powder coated which mens grippy. And they do custom sizes for ur ceiling height! I wanted a brass x pole for the grip and quality but Cudnt afford it so I went with lilmynx and I am very very pleased with it!! Lilmynx.com also the rotator is a 2 in one pole they also hav the non spinnin powder coated which r only 240 I think. Good luck 🙂

    Hey also check out platinum stages they hav some good prices and great poles!! I’m lookin at a brass on there because I found out x pole is just a brass coating. P.S. r 100% brass n brass is the grippiest! Prices r good on the poles not the stages lol
