    Hi there and welcome to pole. I got my x-pole sport second hand off EBAY for £50. It had only been used a couple of times by the seller. This seems to happen a lot that people start and for whatever reason can’t continue! What I didn’t check out was the width and I have ended up with a fatter 50mm one. We use 45mm in class which I do prefer but it was something I didn’t even consider as I didn’t really do my homework when I purchased it. It is okay though for now. You need to consider where you will put it too…I would like to have a more dedicated space for mine but rooms are all a bit small for any proper spins/routines. It is good for practising sits and static holds though. Good luck with it all 🙂

Possibly this could be the reason you are having problems with your hands rather than the diameter
