Titanium pole help
Hi,
I learnt on a chrome pole which was always covered in candle wax at the studio. I bought myself a titanium x pole and can’t do anything as well on it! Its like I can’t grip with my hands, yet grip too much on the thighs to the point of inducing some major bruising and burns! It is so frustrating, any suggestions. I can do gemini perfectly at the studio and yet can’t at home as I can’t grip behind the knee, it slides and causes major bruising and burning!
Please help! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_sad.gif -

If you like the wax, maybe you can ask your studio what exactly they are using and how they get it on there? https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_scratch.gif I don’t see any reasons why you couldn’t coat your pole at home, too.
But I’m sure your skin will re-learn how to stick on the new surface in time, like the very first time you learned the moves https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_rambo.gif
Out of curiosity – do you practice in spinny mode? Candle wax sounds ultra-sticky to me and I can’t imagine that would work on static https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_scratch.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_scratch.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_scratch.gif

Hey tiff29, if you’re like me and have dry skin it’s hard to get a good grip with your legs, tummy, etc. I use sorbelene or very basic moisturiser which helps alot. I don’t pole without using it. Just use the tiniest amount and rub in really well, wash your hands and off you go. It’s best applied 1-2 hrs before poling but if not, just make sure you rub it in until there’s no surface residue.
Hope that helps https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif -
Hi,
Yes I learnt on spin mode and practice on mine in spin too, i wouldnt know where to start on static lol! I will try the moisturiser on the legs because that is where it is hurting. I tried candle wax on the titanium but it just made my hands too slippery! (I get sweaty palms and use Dry Hands grip aid to help me out). I am just about at my wits end because i was so excited about getting my pole and i can’t use it properly!
Thanks
