I have smaller hands so 45mm would have been better and easier for me to grip.

My pole school has 50mm, and I went for a 50mm only because I wanted to practice on the same type of pole that my school had, so I wouldn’t end up finding that I could do moves at home and not be able to replicate them in the studio, since my progression through the levels would be dependent on the teachers evaluation of my ability based on my performance in the studio.

I wanted to make sure I was training at home to the level required for me to progress at my school. A friend of mine who bought the 45mm found that she could do a lot of moves at home that she struggled with in the studio.

So I guess it would depend on your objectives. J
