Part of a challenge is actually challenging yourself…in a progressive manner. Give it a go. You might surprise yourself and do more than 50 superman. 🙂

The doctor couldn’t confirm or disconfirm a case of carpel tunnel Meg? I hope all goes well for you.

I love it. And a dry soft cloth is all I need to wipe it down. Sweet.

Veena, I was really skeptical of a powder coated pole. But I wanted a single piece, rotating, removable one. And I’m so glad I decided to return that chrome xpert before I installed it. *thankfully the manager at the third party vender site was willing to work with me.
I called Lil Mynx with my other questions. And my pole arrived FedEx yesterday before I left for my studio session. I came home and decided to give it a try. Especially after ALL I explained on the other thread about finger pain and finger burn.
I just gotta say this is the best pole I’ve ever had my hands on. Better than the platinumstages brass, chrome, and steel (50mm) static and spinning poles. Better than chrome xpert. At least for me and my sweaty hands that I’m having to recondition to grip at the palms instead of the fingertips. I’m one very happy poler. Thanks!

One thought I had was that I had done administrative work for so many years that I’m used to putting pressure on my fingertips. That could have played a part subconsciously. And I also have small hands. The studio poles are 50mm and I can’t close my hands completely around them. So the larger pole diameter might also play into it a little bit when I’m seeing my grip roll from palms to fingertips. But awareness is the first step to correction. And àlot of awareness and correction was happening last night.

It was really bothering me waking up in the middle of the night or morning and having the finger pain. Sometimes I would take some ibuprofen in the morning or afternoon if it lingered. And when my hands started sticking to the brass and blistering and burning I just knew that wasn’t right.
I had to literally make sure I was grabbing the pole right EVERY single time I grabbed it last night. And some times I hand to reposition when I realized I repositioned. Sometimes I stopped mid spin when I felt my fingers rolling out. But it helpped tremendously. It might take me a while but I will condition myself.

I had seen a few threads in the discussion section in which others were also having these problems but didn’t know why and weren’t receiving answers. Hopefully this experience from tonight can help some others.

Tigerlillies, have you tried Prince Grip Plus? The pole studio I go to uses it. Its better than Might Grip and Tite Grip. If you have used and like Dry Hands you’ll love Prince.Its from Prince Tennis.
I also found this thread on StudioVeena discussing grip and cleaning of the VS pole. Glad I did. I might have used alcohol since I’m used to using it for cleaning brass.

Thank you so much for your very prompt and knowledgeable replies Veena. I appreciate it. I will definetly Contact the manufacturing company with questions about permanent mounting options for the VS pole. I’m glad I came across the site advertisement and discussion threads. 🙂

Sounds great. I have been using a static 50mm brass from platinum stages in the studio but wanted a spinning/static for at home use. My palms often sweat and I sometimes have difficulty holding the pole in the pit of my knee. I was a weary of powder coated poles so was thinking about getting a chrome x-pole xpert. But the VS sounds like it might be a great alternative.
My home was built in 1968. I believe the joists are 2×4 instead of 4×4. I’m currently about 160 pounds. What is the weight capacity for the pole? Will the joist support the pressure amount with my weight? Or can I reinforce with plywood across three joists (support screwfor pole in center joist)? What have you guys suggested for added security?

How long is estimated arrival once the items ship to locations within the USA?

I saw the specifications only five option availability for SV and Lil Minx poles as 1) 8ft-9df and 2) 9ft-10ft pole height. What is your next best suggested option for ceiling heights of UNDER 8ft ? I believe my ceiling is 7’8″.
