I remember hearing about wrist burn and that being a part of poling, however, I have NEVER had an issue with this. Is that bad? Is that an indicator that I may not be gripping the pole correctly?

You SHOULD NOT get wrist burn. That is an indication of twisting your wrist and is improper form (which will lead to issues). If you are not getting it you are gripping correctly! 🥂 🥂
hey momma 🙂 just wanna throw out there that my pole at home is stainless steel so its nice and slippy and i never get wrist burn on it, but when i go to the studio where i use brass poles i do get wrist burn cause im overgripping. from what the instructors have said in class, girls get wrist burn when they basically get afraid and overgrip (oh god im spinning...DEATHGRIP!" or like me, im just used to a slippier pole so i overcompensate on brass lol 😂 if your not getting wrist burn yoru doing it right like chem said lol
Oh, I thought wrist burn was something that you were supposed to get, like calluses. 😳 I was trying to adjust my grip to see how wrist burn would happen, and I couldn't even get it intentionally 😂 Thanks for clarifying! 🫡
I was trying to adjust my grip to see how wrist burn would happen, and I couldn't even get it intentionally 😂 If you hold your hand even up in the air like you would normally grip your pole...now twist your pinky toward your chest....that is how you would have to hold the pole. You can even feel the strain without trying to hold your weight.

So does this mean if i do get some wristburn im doing it wrong? Im worried now. I thought in veenas lessons she said it was normal to get some burn, and to wear sweat bands if need be. I dont get a lot, but in some spins i do get a bit of burn and so i usually wear sweat bands like Veena suggested. 🤔 ❓
its not anything to worry about, most people do get it, but over time when you become more comfortable and have a better grip you will stop getting it. do not fret if you get wrist burn 😀

i have a stainless pole & have never gotten wrist burn either. my mom has a powder coated pole & she did get wrist burt at first. it may have been because she was not holding the pole correctly at first, or because of the powder coating isn't so slick 🤔 less pole burn = more happy poling 😀

Naahh wrist burn will usually only happen when your doing advanced spins...if it even happens. Some new dancers might have troubles with it because your not use to grabbing the pole properly, but once you've learned the proper way to hold the pole, it will be a rare occurrence 👍

The only time i had a problem was when i first started trying to learn the reverse grab spin...I wore wrist bands the next time and after that haven't needed them. I think if you do get them you learn how to fix your hold so that you don't get them again down the line lol
