 Significant Improvement From Its Predecessor June 5, 2008

Customer Service was great from this company, Might Grip, despite its being out of stock. It arrived well packaged and a week earlier than I had expected from being back ordered.
Before ordering the X Pole Titanium Gold in 50mm, I did a lot of research before finally deciding on this pole. Its predecessor, X Pole Chrome despite the same ease of installation and non-permanence as the TG, lacks the grip of brass poles. Brass, as I understand it is too malleable to be used as a removable pole yet stainless steel, it all its sturdy splendor does not provide the grip attributed to brass.
My father, a metallurgist by profession explained to me that it's very difficult to coat stainless steel. How X Pole Titanium Gold has resolved the issue of grip vs. stability. I would say the X Pole Titanium Gold exhibits 85%-90% the gripping power of traditional brass. It is also far more stable and stronger than brass. Brass, installed as a permanent pole can creak and give a little when enough weight/force is exerted upon it. My pole has been up for nearly a month, with nearly daily use and it has yet to budge or creak. I weigh about 120lbs but my friend and I have together tried to shake the pole out of its installation but fortunately to no avail.
The original X Pole Chrome, was a great pole but if one lacks the strength in her hands, climbing and gripping becomes an issue. I could not climb half way up the Chrome version without sliding yet, the traditional brass one, I stuck to like white on rice. The X Pole Titanium Gold is perhaps the compromise between the two, yet it still retains qualities of both metals. You lose a bit of the grip but you gain stability. Some may say brass has too much grip and impedes the ability for one to spin and pivot, so a reduction in grip could serve to be quite beneficial.
The spinning mode is super easy to adjust to with the removal of 2 small bearings in the base, just be careful not to lose these. Response of the pole is satisfactory, though the more you weigh, obviously the more momentum you gain.
The only draw back I see, despite its tendency to get smothered in visible finger prints (something not attributed to the chrome version) is the durability of the electronic coating. I noticed a few spots that have rubbed off which could be due to having abraded by the metal on someone's clothing. If you don't do so already, I would remove all jewelry and avoid wearing any clothing with metal, including zippers, studs, and grommets.
I love this pole and believe it was a great investment for a removable pole, installation was super simple if you just follow the written directions and video. The learning curve is extremely sharp and once you install it, it will take you hardly any time to remove it and install it again the next time. Though I installed it by myself, I would recommend having someone assist you as it's a real ache getting the thing stabilized and simultaneously turning a wrench. If you have higher than 9 foot ceilings, there are extensions available from vendors to adjust it to greater heights.
I am not a dancer by profession but love doing pole work to get in shape, so please keep in mind the feedback from my perspective. Hope this helps. Happy pole dancing.
 Love it!!!!!! March 27, 2008

Love it, love it, love it. I'm a very experienced pole dancer and this is a great piece of equipment. I only wish you could purchase the attachments at Amazon.
