Spinning vs. Non spinning
-
Thank you all for your opinions I really appreciate it and I'll stick with the pole I have for now because I just bought it didn't know that x-pert was both I would have bought that instead if I would have known.
-
get both!! get both!!… Felix Cane told that she started learning on both static and spin mode right away and that in America we generally dont work on spin mode that much. Take it very slow with spin mode…a few minutes each session to work up indurance.
-
I just bought a spinning pole (it hasn't arrived yet) and I've heard that a lot of people who go with non spinning poles end up wishing that they had spent the extra money for the one that does both. My studio had only static poles but I went to a studio down south that has spinning poles and I went on one and was hoooked.

Candycoated, I love your animated, barfing emoticon!

I spent seven months only poling on static, and as much as I was building strength, I didn't see visible biceps before I started doing spin mode two months ago. Many people seem to think that spin is easier since "the pole is doing all the work for you", but holding your body in the same position while the pole is pretty much trying to throw you off is hard, and it takes a lot of strength to control your momentum, to speed up and slow down, and even a simple fireman spin will give you more of a workout on a spin pole since you can hold it for so much longer 🙂

I thnk ppl get stronger on the spinny one bc its way harder… i cant for the life of my do an air shoulder mount on spin mode bc gravity is pushing down at me hard lol… so working on certain going upside down moves while on spin def works u more i would say from expirince. Someoen told me too that spin looked like its cheating lol HELL no its not haha its way harder for me lol…Tho i LOVE both. I love the way my spin moves look better on static and i love dancing when its static but when im actually wanting to do move after move after move in the air, i love it on spin bc everything just seems to flow an its pretty to me like a little ballerina spinny jewlery box thing lol!i was very tired when i wrote this so sorry if i wrote anything silly lol!
-
I heared its safer to start on static also if u are new to pole. (i know not to every body) but it certainly was better for me to start on static.

I think it's hilarious that some people think spin is "cheating", it's so much harder (generally speaking). I try to work everything on both static and spin, but the really difficult stuff I try to master on static first before moving on.
It's definitely worth it to have both– I like spin for a more graceful routine, and static for more aggressive stuff. Plus a lot of poses have a "good angle" (cocoon, flatline scorpio, allegra… etc) and performing them on spin looks a lot better than trying to get the perfect angle on static, especially if you have an audience in multiple directions.
They need to invent a remote control that will lock/unlock the pole for you mid routine LOL
-
OMG I'd kill for a remote to switch mid routine!! Sometimes I think about taking the pin out and sticking it in my bra and then trying to find a graceful unoticable way to stick it back in! I'd definitely advise any pole shoppers to make sure they get a spin and static all in one. In the beginning I was just so excited to accomplish anything on static but now I'm so glad I have the spin feature too. To me learning both types are as important as when my instructor insists we do every move on the left (non dominant) side after learning it on the right (or dominant side)
-
Oh lawd now I wanna sell my pole lol sad face 🙁
-
Thanks everyone for the advice..I just sold my sports pole and now I'm going to buy the x-pert I'm happy you all are awesome 🙂

^^^thanks

I started on spinny and then joined another studio where they only had static poles. I really struggled with spins on static because I didn’t understand how to use my momentum properly, I felt like I should have learnt this first and that spinny was ‘lazier’. Now I mostly work on static and have noticed my strength has not improved at the pace it did when on spinny. I actually think static is easier than spinny now!
I am glad I practice both and have that choice at home on my x pert 🙂 -
I suggest getting a pole for home that does both static and spinning. It's a good idea to learn on both modes. I have an xpole at home that can do both static and spin.
I've learned on static these last 2 years but I'm planning to learn on spin mode sooonnnn….:)
