I've been finding this problem, in fact sometimes they won't start playing at all. But I read somewhere to try pause then play or going to the next video then go back and I'm finding that works quite well so if you haven't tried it, maybe that will help too? 🙂

As far as I know (and I’m sure someone here would know better) I thought all spinny poles could be stationary as well? I could be very wrong tho. I agree with everyone that pretty much says safety first. I find upside down terrifying enough but at least I know my pole won’t let me down!

With the advice of my instructor I chose brass because I had loads of trouble with grip – I was either so tight I couldn’t slide when I needed to or so slippy I just slipped off! I think it all depends on the individual and your own environment but prior to getting my pole and starting to get some grip I was getting pretty miserable and discouraged and that outweighed any extra strength I built (i don’t think it gave me much extra strength to be honest).

I have the brass xpole xpert set up on floating wooden foorboards. Not quite the same as hardwood floors but close I'd say and I have had no issues. There has been no damage to anything.
The xpole is easy to put together. The only hard part I found was finding the beam in the ceiling and then getting it perfectly straight. But I had someone help me and I generally leave it up in the one spot unless I want to take it somewhere else. When it's in it's usual spot I rarely even have to tighten it which I find awesome.

My pole is in a small cramped home gym. I have to pull a rower out and fold up a treadmill everytime I use it and I definitely can’t extend fully in any direction. BUT I can still practice whenever I want and dint find much i outright can’t do. What I’m trying to say is that whatever space you have you can most likely use and while it may not be ideal it’s way better than no pole!

Perhaps you could visit another doctor? It very much sounds like yours didn’t really care? And I can’t imagine why he/she wouldn’t be happy to help a patient who is trying to do some form of exercise!
I used a thing like antiperspirant from my chemist for my underarms years ago. But it went on before bed every night for a few weeks to stop the sweating. Was very effective and may well work on hands. Have you asked a pharmacist about the problem? Good luck!! 🙂

Firstly – I am NOT saying I find this site to be biased.
BUT if it were, so what? This is on the internet and there are LOTS of sites and opinions to be found. Anyone buying a pole of any type would, I hope, do quite a bit of exploring and see many different opinions, demonstrations etc before making a decision. They would probably even look at the individual companies websites (which are totally biased by the way. all the x-pole website does is talk about x-poles, omg! :P). And this site is not primarily about the sale of anything but lessons.
Additionally, why would I support America? I live in Australia. None of the companies are based here (as far as I know). And there seem to be plenty of other non-americans on here too. Hopefully this sort of comparison will simply encourage all companies to improve their products in one way or another and as a result we will all benefit. Healthy competition is a good thing.

It’s definitely worth saving and getting the right thing. I looked at a chrome xpole and after being told that I’d regret it, waited and saved for brass (and it had to spin cos that’s what I learn on and love!). It was expensive and I had to wait but better than spending $400 then regretting it and needing another $700 (Australian prices :(). And I’m a lot in love with it, rarely even needs tightening! Hope you can save fast and get something awesome that you’ll love for a long time to come! 🙂

I don’t hesitate to tell people I’m learning pole dance. No one has judged me or assumed I’m a stripper or that there’s anything untoward because they know me. If they thought otherwise clearly they don’t know me and so I honestly wouldn’t care. And when I’m ready, if the only place I can get out and dance is a stripclub I will (so long as I cam keep my clothes on). If that’s where the poles are I’m in. I guess I just wonder why you’re so concerned about what everyone else thinks? What’s wrong with dancing in a stripclub so long as you can keep your clothes on (if you want to that is!) and it’s not super seedy? And don’t you think that maybe you have the power to help change people’s perceptions about pole dancing by being open about it and maybe getting some of your friends to give it a shot? Just some thoughts, I hope you get whatever opportunities you’re looking for 🙂
