I have a brass pole and I love, love, love the grip! I clean it during practices with a 1/2 rubbing alcohol and 1/2 water solution. But even with regular cleaning it still gets tarnished over time. I use a generic metal polish on it every so often to get it all pretty and shiny again. The only problem with metal polish is that it has a small amount of oil in it to coat the metal and help prevent further tarnishing, which is good for the pole, but bad for grip! One of the members here shared a link with me on other ways to polish the pole (thanks Tine007). I haven't tried any of them yet because I have my chrome pole up at the moment, but they seem like pretty inexpensive and easy alternatives to metal polish.

I saw on another thread here that you shouldn't use vinegar on TG poles… something about chemical reaction would damage the coating. But vinegar is good to use on brass poles, it helps get rid of the tarnish.

– I just bought my silks and AM NOT an expert. I plan to put mine up in the spring and use a spanner, a carabiner, a swivel, another carabiner, and a rescue 8. I'm thinking of putting the spanner around a high tree branch in the back of my house! Now, just to figure out how to take them down easily when it rains. hmmm…. "
I saw a website that explains how to use rock climbing rope to rig the silks to a tree effectively. Maybe it will help you? Also, I'm not positive but I think the blogger of this site isamember here as well. Is this Kelioces? http://aerialempowerment.blogspot.com/2010/10/how-to-rig-aerial-apparatuses-from.html

Did the magnet test and it doesn’t stick so it must be all brass. Thanks for your help! 🙂

Question for ya, chemist…. Does vinegar react adversely with brass? I’d like to try it, but not if it will hurt my pole.

I used to have my pole in a space so small that Iwoul either touch wall or furniture on either side if I stood next to my pole and extended my leg out. I had to move my coffee table and tv out of the room everytime I poled. But I found a way to work in that space because I would just strategcally timed my spins so that any extensions of the legs would be out over the couch. So yeah, you can adapt to work in a very limited space, just gotta be creative.

Looks beautiful, btw!!

I have heard it called a "no handed butterfly" but I cannot recall who else does it. Also have something similar called "shoulder splits" (with legs extended, although I think one is still on the pole)

I want to go!!! I think I have that weekend off too.

Sometimes I put spray rosin on my pole to make it more grippy for more advanced move practices. I've used this stuff before and that makes the pole very sticky. Just make sure to give it a light dusting because a little goes a long way.

I usually wear sz 7 American (sometimes 7.5 if they run small) and I have the 609 model as well as a couple others from Pleaser. I find that the 609 model is more roomier around the toes than my other shoes. They seem a little wider than my other shoes as well. I haven't noticed them stretching at all and I have had them for 3 years now and use them frequently. They are my favorite and most comfy shoes of all of them.
