buying an xpole – chrome or titanium gold?
-
Wow! Sweaty hands slip but sweaty thighs stick? It sounds like some sick joke from the gods or something haha Im so sorry. I wish I knew how to help you. That’s a tough one. I’ve never heard of that before but I’m new at poling so I don’t have any experience with it. Only what I’ve read. I hope someone reads the post and can help you out soon love. Maybe you could try a little lotion or oil on just your thighs? https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_scratch.gif I’m stumped!

Hey guys I’m I chrome lover…..I feel if you can dance on what some consider "difficult" pole…like a chrome or 50mm than you will be able to dance on ANY type of pole. The biggest issues I feel as far as grip goes…….. body temperature and pole temperature and humidity. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif
My first pole was a Platinum Stages stainless steel… not my grip preference but once I was warm and the pole finally warmed it was usable. When winter came around it was darn near impossible to use because my pole room was cooler and the air was dry. Once I moved up to a Chrome X the grip was so much better! Both in the summer and winter. I still love the grip of the Chrome X and I know Tara Karina has both the TG and Chrome X and she has told me the difference isn’t huge and she will probably go back to her Chrome when she’s able to put her pole up again. I look at the TG as a fun splurge for a pole dancer….its gold so its different looking but I’m just so happy with the chrome I have no desire to switch to a TG.

never use lotion or oil on your body anywhere before using your pole!!!!!!!

Sorry Veena!! I shouldn’t be given out information or advice on something that I have no experience with. I was just trying to help but that is no excuse. Listen to the experts!!! No lotions or oils. I will never make that suggestion to anybody ever again! That was my screw up! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_salut.gif

Titanium x-pole are in either silver or gold.
Wait a minute!! Just to avoid confusion. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_scratch.gif X pole has 2 options as far as finishes go. Titanium which is gold coated. Chrome is silver in color. There is not a silver titanium pole…..at least not that we can get in the US. Do you really have a silver Titanium pole Rouge???IF you do I want to know why we don’t have that option here! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_sad.gif Oh now I’m really curious let me know Rouge https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gifYup down here in little old New Zealand, we can get titanium in either gold or silver.
We have 2 x 45mm, one in gold and one in silver and a 50mm in silver, all titanium.Chrome is also an option, which some of our students have.
http://www.xpole.com.au is the site
Maybe you’ll just have to come visit us then and take home a silver one. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif
polegirlsonia is who we get ours from as she is an authorised reseller.Clear as mud??

now as to the other questions re grip on the titanium poles, silver is less grippy than the gold.
I’ve used chrome once and didn’t like it that much, far too slippy for me.
As an eczema sufferer, my skin is really dry, which means I need the titanium to "assist" when climbing.
Along with PVC boots, until I’m sweaty, then I can clamber up like a ungraceful, clumsy thing. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif
(Don’t get me started on the creams, lotions, dietary stuff. I’m allergic to fowl and parabens mainly).Rosin is great as a grip aid, but is pretty noisy / sticky on static poles. Keep it for spinning and strength holds.

For sweaty hands–
i haven’t used this on my hands, but i have a feeling i might in the summer (now with my pole https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif, my feet get so sweaty i would use these when i wear boots or whatever.
you put it on before you go to bed. doesn’t stop all the sweat but does work.

oh, i tht it was because:
all posted under:
Re: buying an xpole – chrome or titanium gold?haha really? im a naturally sweaty person in general, but i keep hearing sweaty hands need grip aids on chrome. and when my thighs got sweaty i had trouble sliding down the pole or climbing.
i want to learn spins on static mode but with the extra grip on gold wont that be taken away slightly? none of my instructors ever used a gold pole, and i have little upper body strength, and sweaty hands.
But if you have very sweaty hands then the titanium would be better. Just on a personal perspective, I have very sweaty hands and I can cope fine on a chrome (if I’m having a bad day out comes the grip aid) I have used titanium and it’s great initially, but I find once it gets a bit dirty it goes very very slippery (just personal experience – other people don’t seem to have that problem).
………………
i’d rate it pretty good
its not expensive, easy to try it yourself -
TG follow up…
Well I have been poling about 2 weeks now. TG is the only pole I’ve ever had and never had a chance to try any other. I am also a beginner too. Now that that’s out the way, my opinion of the TG…
I must say that I really like it!!! I think it’s beautiful to look at. The majority of the time I feel that my grip is very stable. I don’t have to wipe the pole down as often as I did at first (some days I don’t even have to wipe it down at all). Not sure if it’s my body sweat, the humidity in the air, or the oils from my hair. The weather these last 2 weeks have fluctuated between 40-70 degrees. So I really haven’t been sweating too much. I don’t sweat much naturally but I don’t really have enough pole experience to know how that will translate to summer months.
I do want to state that I don’t like to do spins on static mode. It may just be that I have poor technique and inadequate upper body strength. I’m not a huge fan of spins that much anyway. Perhaps because mine don’t look beautiful like you lovely ladies’ spins https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_tongue.gif but I do continue to put them in my workouts to build strength. I don’t like to do spin on static because it hurts my hands. Iono why I’m being a big baby about it https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif no pain no gain right? I mostly practice spins on spinny mode, which technically probably really isn’t a spin, it’s moreso me holding poses and just sliding down the pole while it spins. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_scratch.gif Hmmm
I’ve actually been toying with the idea of ordering a chrome pole aswell to practice spins on which is probably a bit redundant and over indulgant giving the state of the economy and the collection of lint in my wallet https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif I actually don’t even have a wallet. I’ll shell out 400 bucks for a pole but to cheap to cough up a few bucks to get a wallet https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif Some priorities huh? https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_tongue.gif
