I find its really important for me to move into this with the torso high enough (close to the thighs) and to not allow the torso to hang down when moving into Jade. That placement (torso too low) could have you pushing the pole into the ribs. I also think of turning the torso towards to opposite direction so away from the pole. Here is the lesson for this one. It covers a few entries and variations. https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/4d0cd761-4d54-44f7-909f-69900ac37250

Chem, that would make sense…I have uses a brass pole that was not shiny and one that was a high polish I would guess, and there was a big difference. They both had grip but the high polish reminded me more of my TG pole where once you grab it your gonna stick! The other pole was easier to slide around on.

Brass is a softer metal…I wouldn't want a pole that comes in pieces to be make from solid brass..I would worry it would bend. Even before I started dancing I knew brass was a soft metal. Dancers have has issues with permanent brass poles bending and warping, so it makes sense that the xpole isn't soild brass.
I don't know why everyone has to be so nasty……. for some reason we tend to hear more from the people who HATE a product then from those who love it…..just the way people are. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_evil.gif
I don't feel xpole ever tried to "trick" anyone into thinking it was a solid brass pole…..
As far as gripping then not….I have had this issue with every pole I have ever had….and I have had a lot of poles! But it always gets better. Its almost like your pole, your body chemistry and what you clean with have to get use to each other… lol. Idk. I would say for ANY pole if its warm and your warm then grip will be at it best. A lot of people will find the class room poles will grip differently than their home poles, even if they are made by the same company. There are other factors that affect grip.

I love how tall the pole is I'm around 5' 8" and have plenty of pole to work with…here is a video of it in action for those who are curious, I am using my 45mm pole in this video https://www.studioveena.com/videos/view/4dc9b768-1f58-4fd4-814e-68bb0ac37250

@ JelliCrew. I don't do any booty or sensual dancing when the kids are around the room. The only time I can let go and get out of "mommy mode" is if my husband takes the kids with him to the gym daycare. Or if they all go out fishing. If its just the younger kids at home I'll do floorwork and such, but they are downstairs watching TV with the doors closed. Honestly though, I don't think any of my moves are vulgar so I don't get embarrassed if they happen to see me. Its not like I'm grabbing my crotch or grinding on the pole! LOL They've never even watched me dance to a whole song, only tricks are fun for them. Pole is just another exercise I do like going to the gym or hooping.
My kids hang out with me in my office when I work on editing lessons and videos…they've been in the room while I was working my sensual "red" video and they don't even notice, or care about what's on the screen. It's normal to them and so they don't pay attention. At some point my kids will realize that exotic dancers use poles in clubs too and it doesn't concern me at all. When I started pole dancing I was worried about things like that but not any more. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

@ sexy you don't have to be able to V invert first, you just need a very strong basic invert. And by that I mean, the knees are ending up high on the pole past the hands so the hips are up nice and high as well. Otherwise your hands will be in the way and moving into the knee pit will be difficult. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif

Hi JelliCrew,https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif I am constantly torn between making time for my pole family and my home family (all boys 2 5 8 10)…..it can get overwhelming at times when you feel you have to be ALL to EVERYONE! I do feel it's important for women to have their me time, and pole is a great me time!!
Before pole dance was my "real job" I would have limited time on the pole, about 45 mins to an hour. Some weeks I would pole 4 times or more, other weeks not at all. I completely understand your frustration!! I love my kids and my pole family, but I love my pole dance too!! I have learned to just be flexibile and go with the flow, instead of being upset about the days I missed a practice because of kids, work or just having to take care of things at home.
Here is what get's me through a practice.. I always do it in the morning, if I wait it never gets done, I'm just too tired at the end of the day! I turn the TV on for the kids, or get them started with colors, play-doh or some thing of that nature. But they know its my time to exercise. We have set rules that when I'm on the pole they cannot play on it too. Its hardest for my 2 yr old and he is always wandering up into the room. This is why I have very few uncut videos posted LOL.
If your too sweaty to pole try working on floorwork, transitions ect, these are just as important as pole moves and spins. I'm not sure if my post was much help but I wish you luck in finding your important me time!!!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_heart1.gif
