    I’ve got a lil’ Minx pole, chrome and probably 50mm, and I’ve never had a problem with it. I tend to stick really well, so something that isn’t powder coated is a little better for me. I’ve never really had the issue of taking it down (if I have guests, they can deal with the pole in the livingroom!). Sometimes I wish I’d done more research and gotten an X-pole, because I hear you can change them from static to spinny pretty easily, and I thought that would be a lot of fun! One day, perhaps I’ll just get me a spinny one, and put up whichever I feel like at the time.
    Anyways, good on you to be doing research!

    Does LM make chrome now? I know they haven’t in the past because chrome is a coating – this coming from the owners mouth – and may peel off. Honestly most finishes over time will come off – which is why it is better to buy brass or stainless – while they may not be the best products to dance they are true and don’t flake off.

    X-pole is easy to switch but for spinny preference I still prefer PS over X-pole because I can just pull a pin out of a PS pole where as I cannot change mid routine on X-pole. However X is overall more grippy unless you get on will with stainless – if you have been trained on stainless then I suggest staying with stainless, brass for brass and chrome for chrome. whatever you use in class is your best bet. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

    https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif They do all look the same. Was just curious if they were now making them – I wish they would because chrome is a much better material to work with…even with the chance of flaking off over time…much grippier. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

    Hey everyone
    I’m going to buy a pole soon.. and I was thinking of buying an x pole. But then when I was looking on the internet, I came across a few people who said that hardcore poles were really good. http://www.hardcorepoles.com/index.html
    When I went to the website, what I thought was really cool is that they have poles that glow in blacklights. which i would love.
    So… just wondering if anyone knows what these poles are like and if they are comparable to lil mynx or x poles. Also, is there any other poles that glow in blacklights?
    Thanks, Amy

    I love the X pole customer service, they have always taken good care of our members, that’s why we sell them. I have dealt with PS and was not happy, the pole was fine but good luck if you need something from them. Also, because I tend to move my poles from room to room, and house to house, I like having an option of changing the height of the pole. Brass would be fun but having to install one and paying for the shipping of a 12ft pole is too costly. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_eek.gif I love the Chrome finish the most, not too grippy, not to slippy. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif
