Several revelations discovered at the pole studio

I've been going to a studio really for the first time in years and discovered a few things that everyone else may already know but I figured there might be some home polers like me who didn't. Most of the folks at the studio use Dry Hands grip aid--wow does this make a huge difference for me on my slippery as snot Lil Mynx stainless steel home pole. I thought I had tried nearly all grip aids but I missed Dry Hands. I figured at some point they were all pretty much the same--not so, at least not for me. Second, not all poles spin at what I consider to be lightening speed like my home pole. The studio poles were considerably more controlled when I went to spin pole class last night. No wonder I feel so stinkin' out of control at home--I am! Wonder what else I'll learn at the studio? I've always been a home poler and always will be to practice what I learn but I'm enjoying the studio--much to my surprise.
