X-Pole Coated vs. Fitpole

cuandoduerma started this discussion · 6/29/2016

Hi community! I am going to buy a pole for myself. In my previous studio I used Fitpole, and in my new studio I am using X-Pole Chrome. I prefer Fitpole (my hands slip a lot in chrome) but X-Poles are easier to install... So I was thinking about buying an X-Pole Coated. Did someone tried both X-Pole Coated and Fitpole? I was wondering if X-Pole Coated is similar to Fitpole, and then I can have the two advantages in the same pole.

Hey there! I've actually never heard anything about Fitpole, but they do seem to have some knowledge of how things work with poles. I don't actually know how they are mounted, however, so I can't say for sure if they would be easier than an X-pole. That said, any kind of powder coating on any pole, be it X-pole, Lil Mynx, or Fitpole, is likely going to grip the same or very similar. I really love my powder coated Lil Mynx pole, and I find it very stable and strong, too! I used to slip a lot on my stainless steel. I know many women also love other kinds of finishes and pole materials, such as Titanum Gold, and Brass. I know that there are LOTS of women here who love X-pole and their products. They could probably advise you best on how to get your pole powder coated. But, as far as I know, because the X-pole comes in pieces, you can powder coat some of them for added grip, and not others, if you do not need them coated. I'm fairly certain Dirdy Birdy powder coated part of hers! I also think perhaps Veena did hers, as well :) Best of luck!

Xpole actually sells powder coated now Rune :) I've been wanting to try one myself. They come in Black and Pink I think.

I've got the PC xpole, in black, it's nice, but the finish is a bit different from my PC lil mynx SV pole. If you like PC and want a fast assembly then go with the xpole. I don't know anything about the fit pole. Honestly the pole that is right for you is the one that fits your budget!!!!! You can work with any finish with the right grip aids.

Veena, do you prefer the pc xpole or your coated veena pole?

I had my old style x pole powder coated and they ruined it, so i bought a powder coated 45mm x pole. It's fabulous, so grippy. I also have a powder coated r pole, also very grippy!
