I got so fed up with my brass X Pole that I just packed it away and ordered my Platinum Stage brass pole! No grip problems now!

However, this is a GREAT idea! I love it! How much was it to get it done?

A pink  glittery pole is definitely worth unpacking my xpole for!

DO you know what I experienced just today that I fidn worse than flat out disapproval? The disapproving insult hidden inside a false compliment. A lady at work saw some pictures I posted on facebook and side this to me today (I'm paraphrasing, but you get the gist) , " So I guess the part where you are spread eagle is the money shot, eh? The part the guys pay you! But no, no, that takes strength, I can't do that myself. You must have muscles."

 

What the eternal fuck!?! Basically, she meant it as a slight, as a insult, but since she ended by saying I "must have muscles", it's all of a sudden okay that she made a joke about my beign a stripper? I find that when people who REALLY accept what I do make a joke, it's funny, we laugh. When the joke is a meant as a badly camouflaged slight, it's painfully obvious. 

Anyway, the people who matter the most to me genuinely accepts what I do. My bf thignks its' great exercise and supports me. My mom "likes" many of the pole pics I have on facebook, and my cousins and aunts and uncles all tyhink it's cool. Not to mention, the people I write off as being closed minded and are replaced by all the beautiful, amazing ladies and gentlemen I've met in the world of pole.

I've been using methylated spirits to clean my pole. I don;t plan to brasso it unless it gets super grimy.

Your one piece is beautiful! When I finally move into some place permanently, I'll be changing over to one piece for sure.

I was very reluctant to try PS for the same reason. So many bad reviews from many forums! The second I receive my replacement top mount and my top coupler, they will have my official approval. Until then, I'm keepign my fingers crossed.

I hope so too!

The only other pole company I've dealt with was x pole and I also got a damaged part from them  so I figure it's the norm in the business (unfortunately). X pole also was very quick to send a new joint so I can set up my pole, so no complaints there.

Maybe PS have new reps now that some people have complained about the old ones. Or maybe, I was lucky.

I'm guessing you ordered it around the same time I did! How do you like the grip?

I have them!! I've given the stretchign for pole a try and it love it. Espeically the focus on the shoulders and upper back. I also like that she incorporates the pole and uses both static and dynamic stretches.

I had the same problem as Layla though when my head is down, she changes position without telling you so and I missed a few times.

POsting in old thread to avoid clutter.

I recently switched from iphone to a nexus s and I can;t access member section of studioveena.  It will prompt me to login in, and when I do it will bring me back to the homepage. When I try to click on a lesson it will prompt me to login in again. Rinse and repeat. It keeps asking me to login even though I already have.

IS anyone else having this problem?

[moonflower]

Oh I understand Veena, and I appreciate the info.

Honestly, I've given up on it. I've spent the last 2 months doing everything I can to love it. When it got gripper after a few weeks, I thought it would continue improving but it didn;t. Even if they give me new brass pole pieces it wont; help becuase then I'll be back at day 1 with no grip. I'm sure some peopel will love the brass x pole, it just doesn't work with my body.

Anyway, I dont; want to derail the thread, lets keep the brass x pole discussion to the other thread. I started this thread to learn more about the PS multi piece.

Any information on the PS multi piece, good, bad, anything is welcomed. I want to hear it all.

X pole told me to use a brass cleaner to remove the oils from manufacturing if vinegar didnt; work, I used weigmans and it made it even more slippery. So don't use that either. 

Chem: That's horrible.  Stories like this is why I have not ordered from PS yet. But I'm thinking what is worse? 2-4 weeks of dealing with bad customer service for a good brass pole, or great costumer service for a pole I can use but not love. I went the 2nd route already.

I perfer artsy with a bit of sexy thrown in, think Jenyne's more recent stuff, or Natasha's older stuff. I can still appreciate Oona's display of strength though. I mean, who wouldn't!

Veena: I've been on the brass x pole almost every day since I got it and I had one of the first ones in Canada. So since July. If you have been following the x pole brass thread, you can read my experience.  No amount of time will change the composition of the brass or hte finish of the pole.

Any: As long as I get a good solid brass pole that feel like brass at the end of the day, I'll put up with expending the energy. I
