    $610 (booze – duh, I own a bar) Would be higher but I didn’t spend time in jail since I was only 17 when I got arrested (drunk and disorderly conduct…lol!)

    November 10, 2012 at 9:15 am in reply to: Sooo…I wanna Platinum Stages Extreme Multi-Piece Super Pole.

    I have the PS Multi-Piece Brass and a chrome X-Pert. I have used a PS Stainless at my dance studio and a TG X-Pert at a friends home.
    The PS Multi-Piece is by far my favorite pole. Here are the bullet points:

    *everything you’ve read about both X-Pole and PS is true.
    *X-Joints slip and their poles get stuck (even the new ones). Fixing stuck joints is a very difficult process and, in my case, damaged the pole.
    *PS poles are difficult to put together the first time. The threads are a mess.
    I dealt with this problem by using a wire brush and a lot of elbow grease to thoroughly clean the threads and remove metal filings. It was a pain and it took about an hour.
    *Now, the threads move easily, and I move the pole all the time with ease.
    *Between the two, I consider the PS the easiest pole to use and also the most stable.
    *As for the plastic sleeve on the PS, tear it off, throw it away, and flip the pole to make it top-loading.
    *Finish – I love my brass! If brass isn’t an interest, I would definitely choose Stainless over Chrome for a warmer climate. I don’t have enough experience with the TG to comment on that finish.
    Enjoy your new pole!

    Lyme – I’ve only used chrome or TG for X-Pole, and I have the same slippery/weather-related issues most people have with chrome. Haven’t used TG enough to have an opinion. Idk if X-Pole brass is different from PS. I just know I love my brass and it works best for me.

    Dang. Brass needs to be grippy. That’s why we put up with it ripping our skin off 😉 The only other thing I can think to try is Dawn dish soap. That stuff will take the film off of anything. I know there was a thread on here once upon a long time ago or maybe a vid of someone cleaning a PS Brass. She used Brasso. I’ve never been able to find that product where I live and I think that was for shining it up and I personally like a little tarnish on my pole. Goes well with my sailor’s mouth. Good luck! Hope you find something that works.

    I have a PS brass. I just wipe it down with a wet cloth. The only time my brass is slippery is after I’ve used it for about an hour and gotten it all sweaty. Just plain water on a microfiber cloth and dry it with another microfiber cloth and it’s good.

    I’ve had it too. My full recovery time was a year 🙁 got it bowling of all the dumb ways to injure myself. I know it’s very painful. My hubby had to lift me up out of bed the first few days. Take care. Best wishes for a speedy recovery!
