Getting Own Pole, Please Help

Legzz · 2011-09-26T11:56:07+00:00

So, I have been poling at a studio since July but recently hurt my shoulder because we aren't given the best instruction on form. I started inverting (before I was probably ready) and strained my right rhomboid pretty badly because, as I have discovered, I was not inverting properly. After a hard, painful lesson and reading a lot of forums on here, I've decided I trust Veena's lessons more because of her safety awareness and want to get my own pole to learn at home. However, I'm really nervous about space and where to put it. Here is a link to a picture of the only space I have found to put it. https://www.studioveena.com/photos/view_photo/4e80acb3-bfa0-421d-9687-6aa10ac37250&nbsp ; Disregard the chandelier, it's nowhere as close as it looks to my dance space. But, anywho, ceiling is 8' tall and area from the wall to wall part is 11' all together. I am just under 5'8. While I feel confident I can do spins, I'm concerned about enough space for RG, climbing and inversions. What do you guys think? Is 8' high enough for inverted tricks? Is a little more than 5ft on either side enough for RG? Also, this is a mobile home, are there any problems with that? Feedback is greatly appreciated!!

EZ Connects are specific for Star Stand Alones only, so they would not work with our pressure mounted poles. However, we are in the works of having a similar EZ Connect type of assembly that's specifically designed and tailored for our multi-piece poles. Sorry about the confusion. We haven't decided on the exact name for the mutli-piece connectors yet, so I'm sure whoever you spoke with was just trying to avoid any confusion between the EZ Connects and the soon-to-be-released multi-piece connectors. EZ Connects are specifically for Star Stand Alones and our multi-piece connectors are specifically for multi-piece poles so from now on, I will make sure to clarify that the EZ Connects are only for our Star Stand Alones and our unnamed Multi-Piece connectors will not come with the EZ Connects but will feature a similar easy-to-connect assembly. :-) Thanks for your feedback everyone. I really appreciate it. It helps me to ensure that everyone here keeps improving. Have a great day and weekend!

So these multi piece connecters are still a ways out until release then? I would love something like that instead of the screw base depending on how long before they get released.

So it's been a month since Legzz ordered --- is it there yet? my only concern with putting it up in a mobile home is that it needs to be located under a ceiling joist, and dont know how strong those would be in a mobile home. When my sister lived in one, a fan came out of the ceiling! So tell us how you like your new pole! Interesting about the PS connectors --- I have a PS multi-piece pole (just had it's 2nd birthday!), and it's pretty easy to screw together as it is. Pretty funny when I went to Home Depot for a wrench for the big nut, and the very helpful HD guy asked what the large nut was for, LOL!
