I LOVE MY TITANIUM GOLD 45MM X POLE!!!

Veena started this discussion · 12/10/2009

I just had to share with you all. Chris surprised me with a TG 45mm X pole, for Xmas/anniversary, he even bought the extension so I have it up in my pole room and its 12ft of FABULOUS! I have to say I was not sure about getting one, I knew the grip was better, but I didn't like the thought of a gold pole, I'm not a big fan of gold.......wow I love it so much! I even like the color, it seems fancy LOL. I only had a quick play on it so far, but I have to say it was great. I can't wait to really get the chance to use it. For me (I have dry skin and a cold pole room) I really do notice a difference between Chrome and Titanium Gold. I plan on doing my Xmas Challenge video on it. Woo Hoo 🤸 🤸 🤸 🤸 🤸 🥂 🎅

Soooo in love with the TG!! I have pole burn on the back of my knees 😲 😂 and fresh new clauses forming on my hands! Nice....... 😁 I can say.... I know its the finish and not the 45mm size because I have a 45mm Chrome too (the one down in my living room) and its not as grippy....I still love it though, but I feel like I'm cheating on my old Chrome poles. 😂 I am a naughty girl this Xmas. 🎅

hey veena, would you recamend the 45 TG? I want a 45 around may next year or even march! But not sure if i should get chrome. I already have 50mm Tg and like it. do you notcice any diffrence in spins then from the 45 chrome u have. only cuz when i spin on 50 chrome it was diffrent then a 50 TG. hope i made sense! ha
Veena · 12/15/2009
Rubber....the difference in static spins on my 45s would be that the TG has more grip and so I get calluses much faster on my TG. I really wouldn't recommend new dancers to use the TG because, new dancers tend to have a death grip on the pole in the first place, and it is so grippy that it can rip the skin when working on static spins. TG would be great for spinny mode or a more seasoned dancer. TG is good for performing but practicing spins would be painful. So this is from my experience with the 2 finishes so far, and another thing to note is I have dry cold hands, someone with warm sweaty hands may have a different perspective. 🎅

On my TG pole i would be doing spins over and over and over untill my idenification prints would fade off! hmmm maybe I'll stay with titanium if i get a 45.

Yay! That was a super gift. ^_^ I'm am soooo going to get a TG soon. I'm getting so sick of my stainless steel.
JenB · 5/20/2010
Veena, I just got my TG 45mm and set it up. I haven't poled for about 6 months so I'm lacking strength anyway, but I noticed I can't hold the pole in between my legs to sit, etc. It's more painful then ever and I just can't hold it. I don't know if my big thighs are just swallowing it whole or WHAT! My old instructor says I'll get used to it... she's just as thick legged as I am. So I don't know. It's great for my hands because I couldn't hold onto the 50mm upside down to save my life. ALL that to ask.... Do you think sitting on the pole and holding it tight between legs will ever get easier??? I'm hella discouraged.
Veena · 5/20/2010
Yes...it will get easier!!! You can do it 🥂
nymphdancer · 6/7/2010
interesting to read this Veena, i too have cold dry hands and my little minx stainless is so slippery to me unless the humidity is up. I have been looking at the xpoles now that they are going to have a ceiling adapter for my vaulted ceilings. Luckily before I make my choice I will get to try both the x pole chrome and TG at Empy's.
Spazz420 · 6/8/2010
I love my TG45 but sadly the main pole A had a warp! so i am awaiting a new piece but I am in love with it also. At the studio I go to I use 50mm stainless steel. big difference and i love spinning. patiently awaiting my new piece so i can post my june challenge, GOLD OVER CHROME 100%%% 👽 😬
JenB · 6/20/2010
I'm hearing mixed things on the best temperature conditions to dance in. Things aren't picking up with my TG 45mm as I hoped for. I can't practice any moves besides spins, because my hands and body just slides right off this pole. I'm going to have to get gloves I believe, but where's the sex appeal in that! Any suggestions???
SimpllySweet · 6/20/2010
I got my 50mm TG a couple of months ago. I loved it when I first got it. Never had problems with it being slick. I don't know why but over the last couple of weeks. It seems more slick than my chrome. (humidity has been up) I usually just clean with glass cleaner. It feels like it's got build up on it. Like a light slick film. Should I be cleaning with something else?
JenB · 6/20/2010
Yeah I've been cleaning mine with alcohol diluted with a little water, but still the pole defeats me. I know humidity has a great deal to do with it, but I'm having bad luck even when the house AC is pumping on high. I'm wondering if there is some other film coated on it that needs to eventually wear off. I'm lost! I really needed to fight off some frustrations today with it too.
Veena · 6/20/2010
Clean the TG with Alcohol.....I had grip slip issues with my pole about a month after I had it....the weather was cold but humid and the pole seemed to grip and slip at the same time....almost like it was sweating. It didn't last long tho. AC will affect the poles grip.....AC tends to dry out the air. Also remember factors like your skin can affect the grip. I have dry skin and do NOT use AC so humidity gives me wonderful grip. I perspire just enough for skin to be moist but not so much I am wet with sweat. BUT if you tend to have oily skin or sweat a lot in humid weather you might slip. Things like Deodorant/antiperspirant will cause my poles grip to become poor. I have dry skin, no AC and the 70s and humidity seems to give me super grip 💪
Rosedust · 6/30/2010
I'm from New Orleans, Louisiana and let me just say, it is so HUMID here! With that out there, I was wondering what you think about the pole I should buy. I have a 50mm chrome xpole. The studio i go to has the 45mm chrome. I totally ROCK the moves at the studio, so i really wanted to buy the 45mm. The thing is, all this talk about humidity has me so lost. It being very humid here in LA, and me having slightly sweaty hands only sometimes, which do you think would be better. Titanium or chrome 45mm? I'm so lost with the humidity factor. I know when i was a bit sweaty at the end of dance class 2 days ago, and the room was warm, the chrome 45mm almost ripped of my thigh skin (exaggeration, but you get the point, lol) but that only happened at the end, one time. usually i'm wiping thier poles down between every other move. So, what do you think? I really appreciate the advice! I cant wait to get my 45mm!! So excited! 😀
SimpllySweet · 6/30/2010
Like Veena my TG started getting grippy yet slick after about a month. Once I quit cleaning it with glass cleaner and swapped to alcohol it stopped. Lovin it agian. I'll be honest though. If I had it to do all over agian I would probably have bought another chrome. I think it really just depends on what you like.
Audball · 12/7/2010
I relly want a 45mm pole and i'm torn between TG and chrome, I have a chrome 50mm and I fidn it slippy a lot of the time. I now only clean it with a microfibre cloth and elbowgrease as the glass cleaner seemed to leave a slick buildup. Im in negotiations with a guy who is selling an xpole, still in the box, an unwanted present apparently, he thinks it is 45mm and is hopefully going to check tonight and tell me whethere its TG or chrome (seems weird someone doesnt know this, but whatever!) I was thinking I'd looove a 45mm TG, but then I mightnt like TG, so should I get it if it is chrome anyway? (which i'd say is more likely. Ah dilemma!! It's so difficult to find second hand xpole on an island, lol, and shipping is expensive otherwise..
calipolepixie · 12/8/2010
Congrats on your TG 45 mm! It sounds so awesome! I am working toward getting a TG 50 mm in late Jan. Lucky for me the xpole offices are about 15 mins from me, so I can just order it over the phone and go pick it up! I can't wait!!!!
Audball · 12/8/2010
You're so luck calipolepixie! ANother good thing about buying 2nd had is Ill get it face to face, it kills me to have to wait weeks for stuff to be delivered, especially a pole!!
