Hey ladies, I was just wondering if anyone knew what the diameters of the poles they use in competitions are? (45mm or 50mm) Also for buying poles for a studio would you suggest 50mm or 45mm? Just wanted some opinions :) Thanks

It totally depends on the competition. There is no standard regulation size right now. I think USPDF still uses 45's but at ECR they had us on 50mm's. The Midwest Pole Comp that Empy is putting on will be on 50's. I eventually just purchased a 45 to add to my collection in case I wanted to do a comp with a 45. Plus I like to cross train between the two.

For a studio - ideally both. One of the studios I work at has both and I think that works best. Everyone can find their best grip for each move.
