… I didn’t mean to send that yet… Anyway. I will look at lil mynx site. I have a powder coated pole from hardcore poles & I do like the grip, I wonder how the grip compares to a lil mynx. Thanks for reminding me they have a 10foot 45, I had kind of over looked them because I was so set on a x pole

[JenLFG]

I could do that but I really want 4 screws to mount in the ceiling so it stays up forever & someday I’m getting a fly gym (or some kind of yoga hammock) so I think you have to use a pole that screws in the floor & ceiling for that… Idk though. & honestly I really really wanted a brass or a TG because I just don’t like the look of a colored pole, lmao. I’m being picky. I will look at lil mynx s

[JenLFG]

i was really leaning towards the brass BUT it's a lot more $ so i was just gonna get a TG, BUT now…  https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_puke_r.gif i went up in the attic & i can tell i need to screw the pole in the ceiling, because i have a tray ceiling in that room & those beams are def mounted from the top down https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_sad.gif now i will have to spend an extra $80 if i get a x-pert so now i have to wait until next year. that was a total buzz kill this morning. my hubby said i could get one when he thought it was gonna be $330 (he looked xpole.com), didn't know i would need the extention that is $30 OR that i wanted a TG, that is actually $360 lol. & now i need that block mount part too that is $80 so… looks like i'm gonna have to keep poling on my shorty 8ft non-spinny for another year. better than no pole at all but i am itching to work on drops & chaining tricks together, like from the top down. it's super hard to pole in shoes on a 8ft since i'm 6.1 with them https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_eek.gif  & the walls in the are very close in my current pole space so i am limited… blah! i just want more pole space https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_sad.gif & a pole i can actually climb. i want to do superman/superpain drops so bad i can't stand it, lol.

&& the one i REALLY want (45mm brass) would be $620 with everything !!!! not gonna happen. my 30th birthday is april 5th so i really wanted something extra special for my "big day" lol. also our first wedding anniversary is 3 days after my b-day so i was thinking that pole would be a nice birthday/anniversary gift… hopefully i can get it next year… or maybe i can find a job & buy it for myself https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_eek.gif i didn't know there were different brands of yoga hammocks, i have only seen the fly gym… i want a yoga hammock too but i have to get a new pole 1st because i can't stand only having a 8ft  pole any longer, i've been using it since december 2011… i'm itching for a 10ft that spins again https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif after that i need a yoga hammock fosho! 

[JenLFG]

Omg yes! I was like you when I started! I really like alethea Austin’s “stretching for pole” DVD & “pure split” DVD. I believe been a has stretching lessons on here too but I haven’t had the $ to check those out yet. I’m sure they are great too!!

[JenLFG]

I would except for I’m 5 foot 6 in bare feet & my 7 inch pleasers make me be 6.1…. as tall / or taller than most men I know, lol. They are way more comfortable than normal heels tho!

[JenLFG]

oh & i have carpet in the pole space. i prefer to dance on carpet in my heels because its softer on me when i do floor work & you can still silde in heels. when i worked at a studio they had hardwoods & i liked it too but i got bruises on my back… i may change my mind someday but right now i like carpet.

[JenLFG]

my pole room at my last house was in the formal living room which was the room next to the front door, lol. no doors to close it off & it did raise a lot of questions when people came over that didn't know about my poling.  it was the biggest un-used space in that house.

my pole is currently in my master bedroom at this new house & i hate it, not enough room to dance. i have a spare bedroom that will be my pole room whenever i can decide on a pole to get since it's a 10ft ceiling in that room i have to get a new one https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif

 

personally i'm all for using the biggest room with the tallest ceiling & screw it looks of the house if it happens to be in a front room, pole space is most improtant to me https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

[JenLFG]

i have looked online at the construction of a tray ceiling in the USA & it seems to vary from builder to builder, they all have beems 1 foot apart like a normal ceiling but some look like they are connected from the top down & others all the way across with supports above. if mine are connected from the top down i seems like a tension mounted could eventually push the beam out of place & cause the pole to have wiggle room. 

i would love to hear from anyone who has installed a pole in a tray ceiling or anyone who knows a builder in the US & would know about this sort of thing. 

if tension mount is not a good idea does anyone know where you can buy a 10 foot soild piece pole that would be screwed into the floor & ceiling? 

thanks so much! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_heart1.gif

How exciting! I am trying to decide between a 40 or another 45 too 🙂 getting a new pole soon!
I’m sure you will be even more amazing with a 40! I have a a 50 & a 45, I love my 45 but I need a taller pole so I have to pick again :-/ I love the 45 compaired to the 50 & I wouldn’t go back up a size ever! Things are easier to me on a 45 so I feel like it should be even easier on a 40… Right? Lol

[JenLFG]

i just noticed that pole la teaz actually has brass poles (its amazing what you find out when you actually read, lol)  

@  – i loved your blog that you linked! that was amazing info! & i was excited to read that you can have any pole powder coated if you wanted to so i thought that was awesome to know, it really takes the pressure off.

i loved the brass at pole la teaz, i felt that they had amazing grip for me & i had visited that studio in the hot & humid summer months. of course brass is more expensive :-/  

i read about having to clean it with the brassO, does anyone know how often you need to do this, what happens if you forget & do you have to keep away from the pole for a long amount of time after cleaning it with the brassO? 

i have one more question since i'm leaning towards brass… i will have a 10 foot pole & i am really leaning towards a 40mm Xpert (thats why i want brass because they don't make a 40 in a TG) has anyone used one for serious tricks & being "rough" & do you feel they are very strudy or do you feel like you are on a straw wobbling around? lol. 

thanks again 🙂

*thanks everyone!

[JenLFG]

Thanks every

[JenLFG]

I have sweaty hands when I pole so I have a feeling brass wouldn’t be good for me :-/

[JenLFG]

Yay!!! Have fun! 🙂

[JenLFG]

Yes! It’s wonderful! 🙂

[JenLFG]

Veena, what kind of pole are you using in that combo video? & how tall is it?

That is an Awesome combo!!

[JenLFG]

Wow! Didn’t mean to post that but once. Sorry, I’m on my iPhone 🙁

[JenLFG]

I have had a stainless pole, it was my first one, it was a 50mm 9ft & It was slippery but I loved it! Now I have a 8 ft 45mm painted/powder coated pole, I love the grip. & I have used a Titanium gold pole at vertical joes in atl & at pole la teaze atl. However I’ve never touched a brass one 🙂 what has the best grip between the TG & the brass? I need a 10ft pole now & I love the grip I have with my current painted/powder coated 8ft pole but its too damn short! I loved the grip on the TG’s i have played on but i am interested in the brass too! My hubby said he’d buy me a 10 foot pole since I have a room for it & I want to make sure I get the best grip possible. I know I prefer a 45 to a 50 & I bet I’d like a 40 even better but idk how sturdy it would be at 10ft. Anyway, if somebody has used both brass & TG & can tell me about the grip that would be great 🙂
Thanks!

how much are you selling it for? i am in the market for a new pole… i have a 10ft ceiling. 

[JenLFG]

yup! if you don't twist the cup enough for it to "pop" open it will leak BAD! lol! i found that out the hard way when i first statred using one… when in question keep twisting it! 

[JenLFG]

yup! i agree! i'd never go back to tampons! i've been using a cup for 4+ years & it's so much better & you don't get that "OMG i'm gonna die" feeling from them like you do (well , i did) from tampons 🙂
