Reviews on the new 40mm Brass X-Pert & Bobbi’s Portable Pole
-
juicy – it's not useless some some people. Really high polished brass can get too grippy for some, like me, which others grip a normal amount. The brass x pole has a decenta mount of give for overgrippers like me, but yes, it is annoying that vinyl won't stick to it.

Hmmm…interesting…
It seems from my memory, that the poles Bobbi's uses are their own brand of 38mm spin permanent poles and they can be shiny once you clean and polish it but otherwise, it has a matte-ish look to it.
Do you think that the new-new Brass X-Perts are coming out with a shinier surface and therefore more grippier than the older Brass ones?
I wonder how you know it's the newer Brass you'll be buying?? As I know probably 2 x sellers that are selling the Brass X-Pert but hard to tell when you can't even SEE the product and try it out! -
Call x pole and ask them if you would get the new brass if you ordered now. You probably would as it is advertised ont he website as new and improved. I would bet that it would be grabbier if it is higher polished.

Hi Aerial,
Hehe, I haven't actually bought it just yet…
If I do go ahead with it, it will most likely be through a friend who runs a business and possibly through another seller on Gum Tree. Hard to tell sometimes without seeing the product directly.
At the moment, I am still waiting to hear back from another seller about her Bobbi's Portable Pole.

if the new 40s have the same type brass finish as the 45, i say the grip is great!! i have the new x stage lite brass and LOVE it. waiting to get a 40mm brass asap
-
Good to hear, Rixi, as I have asked a few others who have used/own a 40mm X-Pert Brass and they all said the same thing.
I'm guessing it's also the newer high polished brass. -
Great to hear about the new finish. I'm really interested in a brass pole, but I want grip! Otherwise I'd just stick (or not stick as the case may be) with what I have.

X-Pole Tech apologises for not recently posting re progress on Brass X-Poles.
As previously advised all New Brass X-Poles have a shiny finish and increased grip so if you are looking to buy a Brass X-Pole grip is no longer an issue.
We would still advise anyone buying a pole of any finish to try one first as skin types vary so much and so what suits one person may not suit another.
In our absence from Veena the X-Pole Tech Team have been working on a video, which will hopefully be ready early next week, if not before, showing how to re-polish your brass pole to get any1st generation Brass X-Poles up to the new shiny finish and which can also be used on Brass poles that have had a lot of use and need some TLC to get them looking and working the way they used to.
We will post the U-Tube link the moment it's up and running. We hope it will help everyone with a brass pole get their pole to the grip expected from Brass.

For what this is worth, I have both the chrome and the titanium x-poles – both 45mm and have danced on brass poles. I think the TG is an amazing pole. I found it very similar to brass in all the good ways and none of the bad ways. Certain types of brass make my hands sweat more, infact a friend of mine who has very dry hands found her hands also started becoming an issue on brass because of sweat.
I am a chrome or stainless girl/ through and through but the TG X-Pert is a great pole and a little cheaper. I do recommend those who like brass to try the tg. I think the major difference between brass and tg is that tg does take a wee bit longer to warm up but it's sooo grippy and nice.
X-pole tech, are there any announcements about the X-Pert SS? Have there been changes in the polishing on that one too? I love SS and would love to get one 🙂

charley – I think brass actually sweats. I motice mine gets clammy when I touch it, but not from my hands cuz I just frigging washed them.
-
Ariel I think you may be right about brass sweat but I swear my chrome did the same thing to me 🙁 So weird I wish some mythbusters-type would do a video on gripp-yness of materials. There seem to be a lot of factors.
-
Damn, can't spell. Sorry. Aerial is what I meant to type..
-
I think chrome might do the same then. I can definitely get on better with it but stainless seems to be the on material that I can stick to and my hands don't get icky.
-
I think chrome and tg both do it. Everytime I touch ewither of them they seem to go instantly moist. It's so weird! I'm nmot sure about stainless for me.

I’ve had the privelege of working on the incredibly well-seasoned stainless steel poles at the Michelle Mynx Academy in St. Louis. They are the stickiest poles I have ever used. I’m talking high polish stainless poles that have like 5+ years of daily grind and they are so sticky, so perfect. Literally the poles in her studio are my favorite poles on this earth. Really well broken in stainless is an amazing experience, if you’ve only used stainless poles that are new or have only been in the studio a few years, I really suggest seeking out a totally broken in stainless pole before you write off the finish.
