    It is very disappointing , I had to sell my brushed brass XPole 6months after I purchased it because I could get no grip , I sold it for $250 less than what I purchased it for, for me the best grip has been the titanium XPole i cannot use stsinless steel either , all of the poles needs to be warmed up along with your body sometimes that will take. Good 1/2 hour , body chemistry and skin affects grip as well. Have you tried a bit of mighty grip ?

    After competing in amateur pole last year I was excited to speak to one of the judges expecting to get a critique of my performance, I wanted to hear what I needed to do better and what I did not execute correctly for me to place 7th , all I got was how fantastic she thought my performance was , I was disappointed because I wanted genuine critique and that is what we were told the judges would give us! I think we need honest good mannered critique to improve ..However I dislike the constant Point your goddamn feet comments I see frequently in many YouTube videos .:-)

    For me i need to feel the song and get lost in it.but yes it is practice, i too feel like you and because i have next to no back bend I feel like i do not  look nice and slinky but i just keep doing the best i can. and dont compare, accepting your own style and movement is an important thing.;)

    I’m 51 soon , started at age 48, entered amateur pole comp last year and came 7th , this past 7 months I have been riddled with minor niggles menopause joint pains are not helping , I have found I needed to cut back training a tad to give my body more time to recover, I also understand that there are quite a lot moves I will never do due to flexibity issues but that does not stop me from improving. Age is a state of mind what you get is what you think, if you think your old then you are!if you think your young , fit and sexy then you are , I will not let my age and limitations stop me from trying anything new, you only live once.:-)

    Sounds like tendonitis Lyme but it needs to be checked, my thumb is still having tendonitis issues, after 2 weeks off the pole it felt good but after yesterdays session the pain is back again!

    Yep the brushed brass x pert pole was a bitch for me, I was very disappointed, as after 8 months i sold it at a loss of $250, nothing worked with it for me unless we had humid weather, which is not very often for our climate! I am not sure about the polished brass, but I have been out off the XPole brass now! My next pole will be a 38.1 mm polished brass pussycat pole same as my studio uses they have awesome grip, which I love.

    Veenas flexibility lessons are what you need, I had no flexibility whatsoever when I started, you do need to add this to your workout routine, and yes it will help you. 🙂

    Could be Bruised ribs, be careful and work on the strength building moves first. I bruised my ribs in the early days from incorrect inverting, watch Veenas lesson.:)

    I have the Fly Gym, I think its personal choice in the end.. Fly ym has extra handles which are good for a variety of moves, than just having the swing part. As for the Pole size I have 40mm brushed brass Xpole Its a bitch for grip, really only gets in on humid days however I like the diameter for some moves . My titanium 45mm is still the best overall!!

    I have just got one and all the instructions are on the website! However after 3 goes on it the seam of the main sling has come apart FlyGym are replacing it for me, they have been wonderful about it and say they have not had any issues like this before, you will love if I was in love straight away, it is just a pity that somewhere the manufacturer messed up this one!
