    Hi Pole Happy Sarah,

    I'm so with you on making the final decision. I'm going to invest in the X-Pert but here are my issues: I live in California where the air is dry (it's a desert, no humidity). I tend to have dry skin. When I get warmed up, I go from dry slippery pole to sweaty palms. Ugh. I sold the chrome X-Pert because cold, it's SO slippery.

    I've danced on random brass poles and liked the stickiness of brass. Also, some stainless have been grippy but not all stainless (the metal gets worn and improves over time, perhaps?) Seems that certain stainless poles can feel slippery like chrome. That's if it comes polished! 

    Never tried titanium and the X-Pole show room doesn't have a sample pole to actually test out in brass or titanium but I'm leaning towards those. Yeah, overgrip hurts but pole just hurts. I'd rather stick than slip. I have yet to try a grip product. Have heard mixed reviews. Seems all these factors come down to individual chemistry works with some things and not others and you just have to see. Am I right?

    Hard decision! Good luck! Feeback welcome from all.

    Hey, beautiful chem goddess thanks for posting. Very cool…

    You could approach X-Pole about it as a marketing tip. Tell 'em how to do it and make royalties off the patent. 

    I have grip issues and have yet to make my purchase. I assumed I would get stainless steel or bronze but some posts here have recently stated that their poles have a coating that makes even the stainless seem even slicker than the chrome (which I found to be too slippery) and even the bronze was said to be not so tacky either. 

    Is it perhaps because it isn't real stainless or bronze and maybe it's an anodized metal made to simply look like those softer metals? Anyway, I would protect and patent your illustration of colored poles! I think you're onto something here that there could be a market for.
