Thanks for your replies. I’m not concerned about the formation of callouses, because ultimately I want to be glove free. But if it will help with the grip and then subsequent development of my upper body strenth, then it sounds good. What brand do you all use? I am finding only the mighty grip one online, and then references to nomis brand, but I’m not finding where I can get these. I live in the U.S.

Thanks!

Can you spin while wearing the gloves? Do they help in getting a grip while climbing as well? I’m thinking of getting some. Thanks for any advice.

Hi, i’m so glad I read this. I just got a Lil Mynx pole about a month ago. I have felt so discouraged because I feel like i’m so bad on it… I’m constantly wiping it down. I am rarely able to climb up it, even though in my class I shockingly made it all the way to the top.

I’ve had to stop poling the last 3 days and have been really bummed. My finger joints have been hurting and tender (this has never happened to me before). I realize it’s probably because i’ve been poling a lot since getting my pole. And with the slip factor and constantly trying to dance my fingers are probably more over worked than they should be.

Let me know how the sanding goes please. Otherwise I’m tempted to sell it right away. What’s another brand? is the TG Xpert sold in the united states? If not, do you know what a good brand here is? Anyone have any advice about the finger joints and gripping tightly? I think it’s my slippery pole that is contributing. Since stopping, my fingers have been a lot better.

Oh and what do you mean by "warming up the pole" before sanding it??

Thanks.
