I have a ton of Kupmykakez…she doesn’t have tops but lots of legging and bottoms great for pole. I buy most of my tops as bikini’s from Target!!

Hello and welcome! I hope your pole installation issue was resolved! I think the biggest thing to remember is to warm up both your body and pole…if you find you can’t grip often times it’s just that you need to warm up more. If you can’t grip because of sweat then investing in some antiperspirant grip aid can help a ton!
Also remember this is no “level” a dancer should be at in a certain time period. Pole can be beneficial at any level.

Have you tried this combo? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jgvvc2uvcFw&t=118s
Also if the poles are cold steaming can help to warm and clean them right before poling https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RdjeYnLLaBw&t=5s

Oh and whats easier is really and individual opinion.

If you’re referring to the lessons here the Cartwheel you’re head is moving forward and down towards the floor, feet kick back away from you.
Handspring your head is moving backwards and down feet kick towards your face.
Here’s a video I made a few yrs ago. https://www.studioveena.com/videos/view/5703c6a9-e2e8-4079-9b48-1a8eac110003

We rent our home and my husband (webmaster) made a stage for one room and we also installed a whole new floor on top of carpet in my studio space! If you have a room that is nice and even as in rectangle or square laying a floor over the whole room was great!
We layed large pieces of plywood over the carpet, making sure if fit tightly across the whole floor. Then we installed the lock together flooring and it’s been great!
I don’t know for sure how he constructed the stage, but for the floor it was also plywood and we layed stick down tile on that and it’s held up great too!

If you like the heels you have and find your toes get caught when you slide wear socks with them. Also you can try other sizes or brands that might fit the toes better.
Boots have more support so if you find you keep rolling your ankles try doing some conditioning work like these.

My weak points are my wrists and shoulders. Have you tried doing targeted conditioning work for them? I avoid wearing wrist supports unless I plan on doing a bunch of handstand or split grip work in one session.
There are tons of exercises you can incorporate into your warm ups or after pole sessions Starting with hand strength and then work your way down there are 7 total in the conditioning section. https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/b9b362ac-b880-11df-856f-001b214581be
Theses are great too https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/55fb40d9-2820-428d-b154-07990a9aa0eb
