45mm vs. 50mm & weight

sungoddess started this discussion · 9/1/2009

I have two questions. 1. How do I know what size pole to get. I don't think I have "small" hands, they are pretty average. Any advice? 2. How much weight can an X Pole hold? I am a beginner so I won't be jumping right into advanced moves at my current weight. Mostly just beginner stuff. I am currently losing weight and want to get started but worried that the pole won't hole my weight. I couldn't find the info on the X Pole site so I thought you X Pole fanatics might be helpful. Thanks Ladies!

Hello I have a 50mm x-pole I weigh over 220lb however I can't climb it yet I don't have the strength. Also you see poles take 2 people at one time. Something to think on. Tracy

When I got my pole (50mm Chrome) I read that it could hold up to 300 pounds 🤔 Im no where near that so I dont have to worry but I've read a lot of reviews and such of ladies that are bigger than 250 and they say it holds their weight just fine. I dont think you have anything to worry about. And I would recommend the 50mm for you as well. 👍
