buying a new pole... opinions?

polarbearlove started this discussion ยท

I have had my chrome 50mm xpole for almost a year and I want one of the bottom loading poles. So I have some questions.... In reading the forum I have seen that people have issues with the TG "sweating" and I from what I got the conclusion was humidity played a big part... I live in Fl my hair frizzes when I walk out the door in the morning(and my hair is naturally pretty straight lol) due to humidity and we like to keep our windows open (gotta love the summer breeze) so do you think I would have a problem with the TG sweating a lot? I am also debating 45 vs 50? I really don't have problems with the 50 however occasionally I will go to do a one handed spin and I don't feel like I have a good hold on the pole, It is also hard for me to really grasp the pole on inverts even with grip, when I hold the pole there is a decent gap between my thumb and fingers...???? If the sweating on the TG doesn't seem to be an issue how much grippier is the TG vs Chrome? The only non chrome pole I have been on was at a bar and I doubt they ever take the time to actually clean it I could see hand prints on it and it was sooo grippy I did a CAR in my jeans and didn't slide at all. Also if it is more grippy is it harder to do spins on it? I was nervous so my hands were sweating so bad when I used the brassy looking pole (I have no idea what finish it actually was it wasn't an xpole just a random pole they had securely put up) that i was able to spin fine??? Sorry that is a lot of questions and it is late lol I may look back on this tomorrow and say "stupid ditz you know that answer" I am just really excited to be getting a new pole ๐Ÿ™‚
