They are actually supposed to be the most neutral I have heard. As in good for beginners and advanced polers. Also, usually the chrome will not rip your skin off during a drop as a brass sure can and will. I am sure there are other reasons though.
makes me want to try chrome now

I really love my chrome. I have 2. I DO want a brass strictly for learning new moves though. That is is. I like to be able to do it all on chrome. I notice SOME (not all) ladies really slide during performances or competition because they are use to not needing as strong of a grip on their studio brass or whatever.

I've only ever trained on chrome (besides trying out brass and one other at a friends house) When I got my chrome, I got it for 3 reasons. 1, It matched perfectly with my kitchen. 2, I read online, that if you can do a move on a chrome, you can do it on anyother pole. 3, they use it in competitions, and I want to enter one, someday. But I dont wanna slide! I love my chrome, and wouldnt want anyother coating.. It was a bit tricky getting strong enough in my hands, so I didnt slide, but when I did get strong enough, that problem was over..

That second is definitely not true. I can do aysha cold off of 55m brushed steel, chrome, and brass. I cannot do it on stainless. I have heard stainless is the most slippery from almost everyone though
Well, for me, trying a stainless didnt feel slippery at all.. As I said, I just read it online, dont know if thats the case for everyone.
This is not necessarily true. It all depends on what country you are in and what company they get to do the rigging. In Australia the poles are brass and 38 mm. Platinum Stages does not make chrome poles. This is disclosed prior to compatition so that you can practice on the appropriate pole diameter and metal.
If its regarded to what I wrote, I didnt write that competitions only uses chrome. I just wrote that they do.
No, the original poster stated " ive noticed in most competitons chrome poles are used, anyone know why? just curious" I was responding to this statement.
Okay :)
