I have a Lil Mynx that I am thinking about having powder coated. It is a static pole. Are you still able to do spins with the powder coating? Or would the extra grip that you get from the powder coating only be good for holds etc.?

You can still spin. I learned on a powder coated and LM did not even offer a spinning pole until fairly recently.
I think powder coated would be great for spin mode as Iuse my titanium most in spin because the extra grip keeps me from flying off it - lol! I learned on an LM too - I had the choice of a rotator and a static and that was in '07 (I believe) but the rotators are difficult to change back and forth because they have nut you turn in and out and they'd get stuck in one position all the time - not sure if this has changed. On another note my friend Shadow has an old - like probably the first ones they ever made - stainess rotator and it's SOOO smooth spin wise and grips amazingly - I've yet to find another LM product that is so grippy! It's a dream pole - too bad it's a 50. But to OP - powder coated won't inhibit any moves but do beware that I personally found that my seaty hands didn't bode well with that particular finish - I've yet to find a powder coated pole that I can do an entire routine on. It seems like it doesn't absorb sweat as well as uncovered metals - not sure if that is true - Chemmy weigh in? I found I was wiping the pole every 40 seconds.
