    I also started with a 50mm X pole and bought a 45mm X pole after a year and find it much better for grip etc.  as my hands are quite small.  Arielgypsy has done a great article on size of pole and materials. 🙂

    I have had a 50 mm chrome for last 3 years and really have difficulty with grip and alot of sliding issues. Plan on getting a 45 mm TG in the next couple of months FINALLY!

    My advice would be to buy a 45 mm now.

    You should get one that you can put in spin mode. It’s only a little more money but if you find out that you love spinning and only have a stationary pole you have to buy a new one.

    Hi there, I bought what I was using at my studio as that is what I was used to. I am in Australia and I think  many studios here tend to use smaller poles, we use a 38mm at my studio. So I have 40mm brass spinning and static X pole,  Xpert.

    I love it so much. I love the brass because of the grip factor. It is really warm here in Australia so the brass helps and it is what I am used to. I have heard chrome is super slippery.

     I would suggest getting a 40 or 45.  50MM seems really hard to grip and 40 is amazing for gripping but I have heard can be a lot harder when it comes to the leg grips so 45 is a good middle of the road choice and definitely get one you can put on spin mode so you can have the option.  I learnt on a spinny pole and have not done much static work but I have the option to put it on static.
