42mm pole ?

Tyshiva started this discussion · 6/13/2009

Hi everyone, I read that the australian got a 42mm X pole (and soon a 38mm R pole) which help them to get a better grip. At the moment i am praticing on a 50mm Xpole in chrome and i find it hard to not slip as i have sweaty hands and very small hands! 🙁 I am thinking to invest in a 45mm titanium X pole or the 42mm one. The thing is i dont know where to buy a 42mm in Europe! The shipping cost from Australia are too high! 🙁 Are they many difference between a 45mm and a 42mm? For all those concerned do you like your 45mm x pole Titanium? 🙂 Thank you! Jen

I like the 45mm pole as I have smaller hands, however, once I have learned the trick, I usually move onto a 50mm Steel to perfect it. If you get a 42mm, you will get stuck if you have to dance on anything bigger. Chrome is also very slippery, so maybe it'd be best to find a 50mm titanium and see how that works for you. Gold is quite grippy, silver is less so.

Thanks Rouge, I finally ordered a 45mm titanium gold one. I will still keep my old 50mm chrome and pratice on it sometimes 🙂 Thank you for your advice

My 45mm Titanium xpole arrived today. Can't wait to try it out this week. Now I just have to figure out how to get my old xpole down.
