    I have a permanent mount, and yes the ball joint piece is oily/gooey. Shouldn’t be an issue. Youve got to find a ceiling joist and screw the mount into it. You may or may not need a piece of wood to “expand” the width of the joist as the mount is 4″ wide whereas the ceiling stud is only 2″ usually. I’d get a handyman to take down the light fixture and put up your pole no need for an electrician.

    That is a regular split grip. Yes, cup and true grip are the same also. Veena has a Gallery that shows all the grips, if you wanna check that out. Nice Extended butterfly!!!

    Split grip and Bracket grip are the same, just different names. If you could upload a pic, that would be most helpful in determining and explaining the grips. I’m curious myself on twisted grip and how much difference there is from regular split grip. I was just going to post a question on it!

    I was able to do extended butterfly before inverted D, though it happened quickly after. It’s all in the strength of your split grip. When I was in butterfly one day I just scooted my heel on the pole up/straightening my leg and it was a surprise because the week before I had tried to do it and didn’t feel secure enough straightening the leg. Keep trying if you feel safe and I bet you’ll get it soon.

    I have the gloves and the tacks haven’t come off at all. I’ve had them for 6+ months but I don’t wear them that often. I love them, when I need them.

    Still no front splits yet, but my middles and straddle is rockin’ and rollin’ ! I knew they’d get there first. Merry Christmas to those who celebrate! I’m waiting for my son to wake up and get this party started!

    Ooh you’ve all been so busy!! My last few challenges speak volumes about my ability to complete a daily challenge but since this is a pole challenge and hosted by my instructor, I suppose I’ll try extra extra hard to finish it! 😀😋 great start to 2015!! I definitely don’t pole every day but I’ll record 2-3 days’ poses at a practice and see how it goes. Happy new year!

    Sarah Jade is the reason I started pole, so slinky and sexy and yes…seemingly boneless! She is my sexy side idol. Then, I fell in love with Sergia Louise Anderson and her lyrical dance style. Then, for the strong athletic side I adore Samantha Star. I love and appreciate all styles of pole and all dancers, tbh. It takes hard work, dedication, and perseverance to even do our sport, let alone become professional, so everyone who does it deserves to be idolized a bit!

    I love this pose too, Veena! I usually sit in it while reviewing videos or just watching tv. It’s kinda a go to sit for me, and before this year I never knew it was a yoga pose at all! 😀

    On ig there are three dots and you press those and copy share URL and pop that into your browser and bam! It’s your clip as long as you keep it.

    Agree about advanced combos. It’s time consuming searching for unique intermediate and beginner ones, but those are the ones I care about for now. Well let’s be honest, I enjoy the search. 🙂
