    I've never lost any skin on my SV pole, not that it can't happen. However, I have ripped skin on other finishes, so it can happen on any pole. Lost a chunk off my foot, my wrist and hands! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_eek.gif

    One other thing I have found interesting, my calluses don't rip or become as dry as they did with other finishes. I find this surprising because I mostly dance with the SV pole on static. I love static spins. I'm looking at my hands right now and you can't even see any calluses and I've been dancing a lot more than usual!!! I'm not saying this is the case with everyone, but I just find it interesting…and good!

    Veena, now that you say that…my calluses don't seem as severe since I've been using the SV pole, either!

    I think as far as losing skin on spins and drops, it's going to depend on your body type and how long you have been on the pole at any given time. I would say that after a couple of hours my skin is super sticky and I would not want to attempt a drop. It's not so much that I might lose skin (although it's a possibility), it's that the pole gets super warm and it actually gives me kind of a rug burn feeling. It's hot!

    However, my purpose for this pole is to be able to get as much out of it as I can, in these summer months especially. If I used my chrome, I would not be able to do half the tricks without having to constantly wipe the pole or risk slipping off. I can easily do without drops while I'm at home…

    Wow that's cool, I thought maybe it was just me! I use to always be snagging things with my "callusey" hands. lol

    I just bought the studioveena pole. In my opinion it’s the best one. The grip is awesome, and there’s no warm-up needed. I can just start practice at any time!

    Hmm good to know it’s not just powder coated that can rip skin. They made it sound a lot scarier ,lol. I ripped a chunk out of my foot on a chrome pole at my studio. I might just be ordering this for my first ever pole!!!

    Thank you for all your input. It was exactly what i was looking for. My xpoles are so slippery I can’t even hold myself in split grip. In class we have brass poles and, there not free spinning. They spin not as fast. I can do all kinds of stuff at the studio, but on my poles I can’t do any of the tricks. Wich is getting so frustrating. I will def get the sv pole. Thx.

    I am a newbie still and have been going to pole studios. I can see now why a pole at home is important. I really want to take the time on my own to practice and think about what I'm doing. I've decided to get the SV pole. I am counting the days until I can order an SV pole. I'm traveling this month. As soon as I get home I will order the pole! Meanwhile, I will have to SV pole vicariously through this site. That, and I can start "studying" the 30 day challenge. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif

    I'm counting the days till I can get an SV pole as well! I think it'll really help my grip issues in the summer, and I would absolutely love to have a spin mode to play with. I'm so excited! September is going to be a fantastic month!
