Are Calluses benificial or hindrance to poling?

Hi, I have been getting bigger, harder and more of calluses since I have been training for an upcoming showcase. They are hard as a rock. But it doesn't bother my grip being there. I was wondering if they are good for poling grip or should i clip them off?Thanks in advance for your advise.

You probably shouldn't clip them off as you might injure yourself or remove too much and cause the area to be tender. If you just leave them, they sometimes peel which also hurts. I think the best approach is to scrub the calluses in the shower with one of these stones that are used to remove hard skin from the feet http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/c8/Pumice_Stone.jpg
