I have a removeable one-piece PS brass pole, and it is my favorite pole! I have grip issues and the brass seems to work well with my skin. It’s super sturdy and the spin-mode is very smooth. It’s super easy to set up and take down, and a simple pin allows me to switch to/from spin mode without having to drag out a tool kit. I do have to polish it every so often, but that is not a big deal and only takes a few minutes. The only downside to it is that my hands smell like a penny after practices.
