my pole is ALWAYS too slippery
-
My hands are so sweaty, so poling in summer is always an issue for me. I really struggle on brass in high humidity / sweaty conditions, and am sometimes unable to even do a pole sit.
As well as that, the skin on the rest of my body is quite dry, so I will have days in summer where the temps and humidity is high, that my legs stick like glue (and I’ve torn skin in the past) but my hands are still really slippery, regardless of how much metho / dry hands / other hand grips I use.That being said, I find my chrome pole works much better in these conditions. When my chrome pole is warm, I find sticking really easy. When it’s cold, I slip and slide. I also find on my chrome pole using windex and a microfibre cloth is the best cleaner. It gets off any gunk, but it kind of warms the pole up and makes it easier to stick to.

I am still faffing about trying to work out what finish will work for my pole that I am going to order: titanium gold x pole or powder coated? I go to studios with chrome x poles and platinum stages poles and use lots of grip aid but I want to train at home without using it so much. It’s humid here and never drops below 79 degrees f in my rented apartment. It is very hard to know what to do as I like to spin and slide but also to invert safely!
