I'm wondering if any of you use a 40' pole...I have a 45 but I'm wondering if gripping would be much easier with the 40, anyone? Pros and cons ?

I'm also interested in this, I'm looking to move down from a 45mm to a 40mm. I have smaller hands and find one handed spins nearly impossible on a 45. Maybe that is dramatic though. :P
I thought about getting one for my studio but I was afraid it might be harder for newbies to hang on to the thing I go a 45 inch since I could only afford one to start with I would be interested in hearing what others though about the 40 before I make my next purchase. I too have smaller hands and do well with a 45 but at the studio I attend for classes they have 8 50's and one 45 and I can do most things on the 50 now but I still find more stability in a 45. Guess who is always in class early though to get the 45.

A week ago I sold my 45 and bought 40 Crome. My grip is now much solid!i can perform longer-). So happy now-))
I'm waiting for xpole to come out with one that's not chrome.....but I'm getting one.
I thought xpole did a brass 40mm? I use a 40mm chrome at home (there are pictures on my profile of my hands in comparison to it if that helps) and 38mm brass at the studio. I love skinny poles, and can't even imagine poling on a thicker pole :)
The only 40mm they have available right now is chrome. I'm attempting to be patient but it's not working :-)
Maybe they only have 40mm brass in Australia?
Ahhh yes, I was talking about xpoleus. My bad

Ur hands will LOVE the 40. All ur other body parts, maybe not so much. The new chrome finish from xpoleus is pretty great too, so I think you may as well go with that. Their brass 45 is so flimsy & wobbly I can only imagine how much worse the 40 brass will be, in general, nevermind on spin mode. I doubt you'll be happy, just go with the chrome.
I don't understand how the finish would make a difference in terms of it being wobbly? My 40mm is a chrome, and I still love it :)
Chrome is over steel whereas brass is brass. These two materials have very different properties, the main one being brass is a rather soft material which equals much more give (wobble).
oh like pole flex? I guess that makes sense. my chrome flexes like crazy, (probably because it's so tall) but you don't really notice it when you're on the pole, I think. and then the brass poles we have at the studio are permanently mounted so I guess they don't flex too much.
The 40 chrome isn't on the US site anymore :-/
Well now I'm just confused. Xpoleus has a 48mm pink silicone pole now?!?!
XPole has been showing this pole at events for almost a year now. I think they are probably updating their website which is probably why you are not seeing some items one day and then seeing others the next.

I have the 40mm Chrome and Brass they will be available here in the US again, you'll just have to wait until more stock comes in. The brass does have more flex, however it's not been a problem yet, and I really like the finish, far better for me then chrome.

Thanks SV ar they both spinners? And about how much do they run? So you find you get a better grip on the 40?
Veena ·
Yes they both spin I wouldn't say the grip is better, but I like how easy the small diameter makes single hand moves. You'll have to contact xpole for price.

I recently switched to a 38. I have never gotten blisters so badly from pole... It's so much easier to use, but I can't pole for a long enough time because my hands hurt too badly! Does anyone else have that problem?

I normally pole at my gym that has brass 55's. However, I recently took a course at another studio that had stainless 40's. After trying both, I have slight preference for the 40. My grip was somewhat better, probably just because it was easier to wrap my hand fully around the pole. Pole burn is worse for me on the brass -but there is less slippage - overall I don't think there is huge difference after you get use to whatever pole you are using. I recently bought a stainless 45 and one of the reasons I decided to go with that was because I was told by a friend who competes and performs regularly that 45 stainless was the norm at most venues, at least here in Canada.
Hi guys! We have been getting a series of smaller shipments- with some limited quantities so that's why things are on and off the site because they are going almost as fast as we get them! If there is a pole you would like and you don't see it on the site please email [email protected] Yes we do make the 40mm in Brass, if you would like one they should be coming end of July/early August shipment. We do have the Pink Silicon X-Pert pole in stock now! One of our new products we are super excited about. The Silicon Black are coming soon as well. Hang in there guys- we are finally starting to get caught up. Any questions please send to [email protected] Thanks!
Stephanie, do you make the 40mm in titanium gold? ....for the US....
Hi Dance4Life- Please send all inquiries to [email protected]. We do not check Studio Veena everyday so a question on here could easily be missed. The USA does not carry the 40mm in Titanium Gold- there is simply not enough demand. Thank you!
