TG is similar to brass but it really all depends on your body chemistry. Out of all of the finishes I think TG is the least finicky when it comes to temp and humidity.

I live in mn so unless it's hot, stainless SUCKS lol. I also live in an apartment so I'm seeing if this TG 45mm X pole is the way to go cause I'm ready to buy it lol.
I absolutely love my 50mm TG xpole. Great grip, but not "too grippy". So glad I have it. You should do it!! :)

I have a 45mm TG, and I like it! The grip is good, although I kind of wish I went with a 50 because that's what I learned on. (Most people seem to prefer the 45 though). It's also good for sensitive skin or allergies.

I have a 45mm TG. I wouldn't go above a 45, esp if u have small hands. TG is grippier but I find if any sweat gets on the pole it gets slick fast. I live in a hot, humid climate. We have stainless steel at the studio and I like it the best. Mighty grip gloves work great on TG. If I am doing a new move that takes all of me off the pole except the hands, I usually use the gloves on the TG pole.
At PoleExpo we tried out Pole Sleeve from victor which is a great addition to your pole which you can remove when you want to. Also Steve was on the stand and they have now formulated Stunt Grip and that is amazingly grippy
I upgraded to a TG from chrome and I love it. My favourite finish is probably brass but when it's hot and humid I stick to brass too well and take off skin on my side, so I went the TG and don't regret it for a second! I'm actually really keen to get a silicone pole but that's another story!
