I bet you the type of cleaner used affects the gold color. Also, the friction from use probably does as well and our sweat and oils.

I've used water, rubbing alcohol, Vodka, Windex, soap and nothing has changed the TG finish. I would say a persons body chemistry or using grip aids are the culprits. But yeah, the grip doesn't change anyway.

Stand in the spot between the wall and where the pole will be then pretend you are grabbing the pole with one hand. Both arms should be fully extended make sure you wouldn’t hit anything as you walk around where the pole would be. That’s the minimum distance I would say. The more the better, kicking something really hurts! 🙁

When I first got my pole I did what Sanbar did and also extended my leg as far as I could out to the side to make sure I wouldn't kick anything. I was paranoid about kicking something! Ouch!

I personally think a powder coated pole has the most grip of all. Even brass for me anyway.

PC is sooo much grippier than TG.
For me this is how pole finishes seem to go, and I may be weird in this: SS is by far the slickest, but it gets sticky. It's just hard with sweaty hands. There is a small but quite noticable leap in grippiness from SS to chrome. Chrome and TG feel almost the same to me in grip. I still slide like mad with sweaty hands for both. Brass and PC feel about the same in grip to me. Sweaty hands are still a problem, but not nearly as much.
