How long have you been dancing and will you be doing a lot of static spins? I suggest Chrome for newer dancers and Titanium for the more experienced.
If your newer to pole and love static spins chrome is good. If you like spinning pole and would like a pole with a lot of grip go with Titanium gold.
Beginners can have a hard time with the titanium because it is so grippy, so static spins can be slower and more painful. Also with a grippy pole you don't have the ability to skooch around to find a good position, like on a Chrome finish. Chrome does have nice grip as well. One thing to keep in mind, a warm pole and warm body always have the best grip. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

I've used water, rubbing alcohol, Vodka, Windex, soap and nothing has changed the TG finish. I would say a persons body chemistry or using grip aids are the culprits. But yeah, the grip doesn't change anyway.

RubyTuesday, it's totally normal too feel like one side is more of a challenge.https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif But as others have said, it is important to work both sides of the body, especially if pole is your main exercise! You may not be able to do EVERY move on both sides but it's always good to keep at it. And always try BOTH sides when leaning something new, sometimes the side that feels most natural may surprise you. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

Hi, I have not had any trouble with sequins scratching, but I have had rhinestones leave little scratches. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif It would still be worth watching for scratches though.

Hello and welcome to the site!! You may also like to try out Friday chat day to meet some new pole buddies. It's every Friday all day long and it's the day when the chat room has the most people in it. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

I love my X pole 45 Titanium. My TG has not faded, and I've had it for 3 yrs now. I'm told that if it does fade it doesn't affect the grip. However….. I had one section fade after having someone dance on my pole and they used Itac! I don't use any grip aids.

Depending on your starting position the Twisted grip variation could be considered a cartwheel or handspring. Some start with the head looking down swinging the leg in a cartwheel motion, others start with the head and chest up so it would feel more like a handspring.
Either way I do not suggest using the Twisted grip for mounts!!
-
I don't know why so many use the term handspring for all mounts. The direction is different for the Cartwheel and Handspring. Here is one video I have showing both. I might have another but not sure…

I don't think anyone was upset with you Oliviaaa.

If your planning on taking the lessons Kgarner, then you don't have to worry about where to start or what to work on next. I have designed the lessons to go in order and take you from very beginner (no experience or fitness background needed) with strength building included all the way to advanced! Be sure to watch all of the "Getting Started" Lessons for each section, first. These videos have important info on how to use the lessons and how to structure your pole sessions. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_heart1.gif

I don't think anyone on this thread mentioned being compared to strippers Oliviaaa. The whole point of this thread is all in fun and it's about stripper names. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif

Hmmm this discussion has given me an idea!!! I’m on the road (still moving) and will think it over before I decide if it’s worth sharing 🙂

I hadn't heard anyone refer to the static hold as a cradle before. I only thought of it as a spin!! LOL That's where my confusion came in.
So I have added the Cradle and Cradle V to the AKA for the Thigh Res and it's V variation, t is that correct?
Thigh rest (tuck) https://www.studioveena.com/galleries/view/4f879cc8-cf20-458c-8b8f-40d70ac37250
Thigh rest (V) https://www.studioveena.com/galleries/view/4f879cec-12a4-4ed5-98a2-40d70ac37250
It's not that confusing, Cradle, jamilla, thigh rest, anchor are all the same move….and all can have leg variations. Moving the legs into a V variation doesn't change anything but the legs.
Side V is different. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif
Nice combos beaniegoesnuts!

Did you start with the static from standing for the reverse grab? Always stay with the static from standing variation first until you become very comfortable with it before moving on, that can mean doing it from standing for weeks!
Also I saw in your help video you have switched your arm and leg placement. In the lesson I use the same leg and arm to grip the pole not the opposite, this will make for an easier transition into butterflies. If you ahve any questions on any move please feel free to post a comment on the lesson and I'll get back to you asap. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

huh? I thought that's what you guys were saying that the side v has one leg in front and the other behind??
The thigh rest is a thigh rest, and you can do leg varations such as a V….the cradle is a not the same thing to me, it's a spin. The pole is placed a bit higher up by the hip bone for the cradle spin and the focus isn't to rest the pole on the thigh, but rather use the arms to hold you.

Have you taken a look at the lessons for these move on here? I just posted a new one for the reverse grab if you missed it. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif
