So my birthday is tomorrow😀! and I really want to buy myself a pole for the first time. x pole seems to be the best but I'm so confused on everything! I want to spend less than 300 or the most 300. I don't want to bolt anything to my ceiling and I want to be able to lock it and have the option of spinning. I'm completly new at this so I also don't know what metal to get, I live in Chicago if that helps. I have small hands so I was thinking 45mm would be best but I still have no clue on what to get, ANY INFO HELPS!

have you poled before? if not, i suggest finding a studio and trying out the pole they have before making a purchase :) spending alot of money on a pole is worth it- but only if its the right pole for your body chemistry.

I just did a bunch of detailed posts about the companies, diameters and finishes. Check them out. Hopefull they can answer any questions. For $300 or less, you're probably going to have to go on craigslist or get a non spinny pole. diameters: http://flexines.blogspot.com/2013/02/pole-diameters_25.html companies: http://flexines.blogspot.com/2013/02/what-pole-brand-is-for-me.html materials: http://flexines.blogspot.com/2013/01/what-pole-material-do-i-get.html

monicasteez - Two ideas: 1) We offer free shipping on X-Poles so you can get a chrome pole in any diameter for $329, which is thirty more than you want to spend but is pretty close. 2) The other option is a little mynx. You do have to bolt something into your ceiling but unless you have concrete or tin ceilings this is really not a problem. Even in a rental situation repairing the hole when you leave will take 1 minute, a butter knife, a two dollar tub of spackle and be virtually invisible. The Lil Mynx spinner will come in right at that $300 mark and it is really, really quick to take up and down.
