Getting a new pole :D

halfjack started this discussion · 1/18/2010

So, I'm moving house soon. Which means I will be investing in an x pole....I've wanted one for ages, and I'm finally gonna get it! 🤸 But. My current pole is a 38 mm one. Pretty thin. I've learnt on it, and I've never actually danced on anything thicker. I'm still a beginner pretty much, working on beginner inverts now, my question is...should I get the 45 mm x pole or the 50?? Will it be ridiculously hard for me to adjust?

Hi, They do say that going from a thinner pole to a thicker pole is difficult. Say, if you had a 50mm to begin with it would be easier to go thinner say to a 45mm, than the other way round. I know because this happened to me lol. I originally had a 45mm chrome x-pole (which i loved and im silly for getting rid lol) but i thought i'd get a 50mm just because it was competition size (standard size). When i got the 50mm, i was deeply dissapointed because i found myself finding it difficult to grip as the pole was too thick and i have small hands and regretted selling my 45mm. So I have sold the 50mm and now i'm awaiting my gorgeous new 45mm XPert x-pole 😀 So, all in all I think you should opt for the 45mm if anything 🙂 and not go for the 50mm as that is too much of a difference from 38mm. Hope I helped 🙂 and let me know what you decide! Good luck!

so i'm going to finally be up to date with everyone and get a xpole! i'm excited, does anyone know how long the shipping normally takes from order? also if you all have any ideas, i still have a perfectly good brass, i had originally wanted to set up both , one on spinning and one non in the same area and have duel poles to play with at home! but my husband says the support beam mine is on isnt large enough for both in the same area. (if you've seen in my videos its in a 'computer room/office type of area') i dont have really anywhere else to set up the xpole...maybe downstairs...dont know how the hubby would deal with pole in the living room and upstairs... its taking over!! 😂 any ideas..?

Louisax, I would go with the 45mm a 50 will feel like a tree stump!! 😁 Sapphirecatzeye , It takes about a week for shipping sometimes less sometimes more...If you order from here we send out tracking info for you. 😁
