Thank you everybody for you suggestions and feed back! I ended up getting chickening out on the brass and getting an xpole xpert chrome. Once I see how chrome behaves in this climate in combination with my body type I think I will have more confidence to go ahead and choose a brass pole, and I will take into account your experience that you have shared and recommendations. Thanks guys!!

@poison8:
I cant tell you what you are doing incorrectly, but I can tell you what worked for me. When I first started I couldnt invert, but i could bring my leg up past the pole as well. What really helped me was practicing the invert in parts as well as doing core strengthening exercises, since a lot of inverting comes from your core, and muscle memory helps alot. start by gripping the pole then bringing your legs from the floor to your chest into a tuck. Repeat until you can do it in your sleep. Next practice shifting you body back, or tilting, while in the tuck position. This is where the core strength comes into play. It is hard at first, and progress is slow, but it'll happen. Lastly, practice the tuck, into the tilt, and open your legs into a V. ANd there you have it a perfect V. When I first started I had to jump, or swing a leg for some momentum, but by the end you shouldnt have to. Took me almost a month to get it correct after much practice. Wish you the best of luck!!
