I got my X-Pole yesterday and finally got it up and functioning today. It took about 40 minutes (with hunting down all the parts, a tape measure, etc) the first time to get it up, but it kept slipping until I figured out that indeed it IS really important to keep the top disk flat against the ceiling- even if it means holding it up by yourself while trying to screw main part into it (a workout on the arms). Once I did this, there was no problem with slipping.

I ordered the 45mm portable pole (can choose between spinning and static) from the UK X-Pole website and received EXCELLENT customer service. I also somehow managed to get a second X-Pole the next day- oops! Obviously they'll be wanting that second one back.

The easiest way if you're in the U.S. or closer to Great Britain's time zone is to order using paypal. Otherwise you have to call internationally during their business hours to have them process your credit card. I received my order four business days after the order was processed- which was my main concern since I have a party this Saturday and wanted to have time to practice putting it up and taking it down before then.

Some things to note:

Having a magnetic level or a level that can be tied on to the pole is VERY handy. I have one that gives me the level readings for both sides, and this helped tremendously when I finally was able to get the pole up successfully. Also, a stud finder made my life a lot easier since my knuckles got tired of rapping on the ceiling and you definitely need a tape measure.

When I went to put it together, there was a piece that is not shown in the manual or the training DVD. It is a socket attachment that goes on the base's main section so that you can attach the tubes. Unfortunately, mine came sealed tight to the main lower tube so I couldn't follow their advice of putting the smaller attachments at the base. My small attachment is currently in the center- and it is also sealed on tight now. I'm going to have to have my boyfriend dismantle the two stuck on sections in his shop to make my life easier for carrying the damn thing, and keep the grooves well oiled so it doesn't seal up this tight again. Hopefully it won't be an ongoing annoyance.

So long as no issues come up, putting it up should only take 10 minutes- especially if you have another set of hands helping you. It seems very stable and comes with two carrying cases that are good quality.

Some may have known (or heard the rumors) that X-pole was developing a stage pole....well the specs are out and available and it's the most incredibly innovative stage I've ever seen. They came up with concepts I never even dreamed of.

If anyone is interested, you can read all about it here: http://empowermentthroughexoticdance.com/xstage.htm


It will be available in February in limited supplies so we are taking pre-orders now.

I tested this stage out when I was in London and I was able to do very advanced and agressive work without tipping it over! Plus the main feature is ease of transportation and set up! I wanted to take it home with me as soon as I saw it.

If you're considering buying a stage or need a new one...you've got to see this!

alena, isn't fun trying to break those! i've been doing the same!

minette! OMG! I'm so sorry! I totally forgot to get you those pics! i took them a LONG time ago..here they are from different angles.

you can see that the old ones aren't as shiny and they are shaped differently. makes it easier, i think, with heels.

empyrean..question on those stages. are the poles freestanding? or do they have to be attached to the ceiling? it doesn't say (that i could find anyways)

I've sifted through all 13 pages of this thread and now feel....confused as to what pole would be right for me. I guess I will state what I am looking for and maybe someone could recommend a pole?

-I live in an apt so obviously I need something removable
-Ceilings are approx 9 1/2 feet high
-Would love a pole that spins AND can be still when I want it to (static?)
-Something NOT slippery but not too grippy -maybe brass?

anyone know what pole would fit the above requirement? What would I be looking at for prices? Thanks:D

i always suggest that people in apts get a multi piece superpole. since you never know if a one piece will fit in a different place.

however, if you want brass, then you'll need a one piece. they have pretty good resale values too if you take care of it.

i like to teach on a stainless. it is more slippery, but you get stronger, faster. and if you can do it on a stainless, you can do it on just about anything....well except for maybe djosers homemade pole! lol

Strictly based on characteristics of different poles:

I agree with Sassy on the point of learning on a less grippy pole to build strength. Once you get use to it, which takes only a few days even for those who were previously use to brass or titanium, then you'll be able to dance on either.

Lately, I've personally come to dislike the brass and titaniums poles due to the upkeep. Brass needs to be polished to remove the tarnish (which builds up in just a couple of hours from sweaty hands) and titanium requires more regular cleaning. They both seem to act like magnets for the oils and dirt from your hands.

Though some dancers SWEAR by brass/titanium. It's all in what you get use to.

If you absolutely want a brass multi-piece, Poledanzer makes a very secure and safe multi-piece brass that is fully removable called the Party Pole. The main drawback to poledanzer is the ceiling piece which is only 4x4" - you need a large piece against the ceiling to spread the weight load when you put pressure on it.

I've had to get a larger board, like 3/4" plywood, to place between the top of the pole and the ceiling to spread the load and avoid leaving a "dent" in drywall. You don't have to leave it up permanently, just place it there when you put the pole up and the pole holds it snug in place.

You should definitely consider a multi-piece removable pole with an apartment so that you can take it with you at any time you move. So, if not brass, that just leaves choosing between Xpole and PS...Xpole is chrome and PS is stainless. Chrome is a little easier to grip than stainless.

I am in agreement with the multipiece...seems like all us retailers feel the same.

Empy...I am with you on the brass and titanium...upkeep is more difficult. The brass after cleaning leaves black marks everywhere on your body...and the Titanium actually wears off after a few months.......

Now I am not sure if this is caused by usage wear...or the products recommended to clean them...

One of my students has an X Titanium...the middle 2 feet has worn off...not flaked off...worn off, but she was told to use windex to clean it....which actually eats it...so cause is unknown.

Oh...and here is the press release for the new plates on the PS Poles....

Platinum Stages Latest Addition, Now Featuring Brand New Polycarbonate Plates

Newport Beach, California USA Aug 1, 2007- Platinum Stages, the innovator in dancer pole designs and manufacturer introduces the new polycarbonate plate. These plates are used on all of our removable and semi-removable poles. The Polycarbonate plate is the same material used in bullet proof glass. Polycarbonate has a high impact-resistance combined with high scratch resistance.

Polycarbonate is becoming more common in airplanes as well as laboratories and in industrial applications. This lightweight, nearly indestructible material is temperature resistant and impermeable to scratches and dents. The production process is more expensive but the end result is a higher quality grade plate for our customers.


On a final note...my daughter and I played frizbee with the top plate...skidding it across the pavement!!!! NO DAMAGE to the plate!! I seriously love testing new products!! They REALLY are indestructible.

The paint DOES NOT flake off..the unpainted spots (2) are from the form used to hold them during the fusion process. I have taken a nail file to the top of the plate...it wont come off!

sassysummer
09-28-2007, 08:13 AM
alena, it's actually not paint, it's literally sucked into the polycarb, lol that's why it won't chip like the other ones that were powder coated.

i'm with you on testing! Fun fun fun!!

09-28-2007, 09:06 AM
My apologies...I used the term "Paint"....as that is how it was referred to in an earlier post.

But Sassy, you are correct. The color is fused to the polycarbonate...I really dont know what to refer to it as!! :)

Empyrean
09-28-2007, 09:15 AM
It's my understanding that the titanium doesn't wear off but the color fades...if I understand it correctly, it's difficult to bind the color to the titanium.

I think that black on the brass after cleaning is the remannts of the brass polish (which is a bear to clean off) with the dissolved tarnish in it...it ruined an outfit of mine before I realized that it was on the pole! You have to wash the pole with soap and water then dry it well after using polish. WAY too much time to use up when I could be dancing!

As for windex...even our mirror installers ALL said not to use it on the mirrors as it eats away at the silver backing of the mirror when it seeps behind it!!!

No doubt is brass a pain in the ass to upkeep. I have 6 brass poles in my studio. Here's my routine for keeping them clean, and getting that black nastyness off.

Enter the Brasso.... I leave that sit on for 15 min. or so..

Buff off the Brasso with (several) clean dry cloths...

Next, I clean them thoroughly with the aerosol class cleaner from Costco (Sprayway (or something) is the brand, I think) It comes in a 3 pack at Costco, and is the only aerosol glass spray I have ever seen.

THEN... I clean them all again, with alcohol... The whole process takes quite a while, but they look brand new when it's done :)

Lather, rinse, repeat as needed... That should take care of the black stuff.

I live in an apartment with 10 foot ceilings. I have the PS Superpole that spins. It's the slippery kind but it looks best in my apartment and I'm used to the slipperiness of it now.

My plates aren't the polycarbonate BUT the new plates seem like they'd be good anyways.

^^^ So getting one of those.

I just got a PS stage, and it's fun, but I want a round one ;D The biggest draw for me (Besides ease of transport) is the fact that you can use a taller pole with it. I am a short girl, and there's almost not enough room on the PS stage pole for me. I feel bad for anyone taller than I am using it for advanced inverts.

Totally fun, and nice to have though. Mine came in less than a week, and puts together really easy.

Yes! I have it upstairs right now. It's sturdy as long as it's tightened well (have to put it under a joist/support beam so it doesn't go through) and it can be put up pretty easily. If you've ever been to the Xpose studio (Arundel Mills, Towson MD) the ones they sell are more slippery than the ones in the studio. That might just be from use, though. I admittedly haven't used mine much, because the carpet kept screwing with my heels, and I didn't like that it was more slippy. Also, didn't know how to clean it well until I read this thread. :)
Any specific questions?

I have an X pole and I love it. I got the removable and it took a few times to make sure it was completely level with the ceiling but now I have had it up for 4 months without any problems besides tightening the top every so often.

I think it would be awesome to have a pole in your house. I think it is something all women should have. Do you know about what the poles go for and if they are portable.

alenadowns
11-15-2007, 09:48 AM
There are a few of us who sell them here..

Basically to give you an idea...

A decent pole will be $275 - $500 depending on make

If it is less than $200 it is not a REAL POLE. Remember you get what you pay for!

Most are fully removable, some need a ceiling adapter that can be hidden.

Where can I find cheap poles in Canada? I've found some great priced ones in the US that seem to be of good quality like mentioned in this thread, but I think paying the duty and shipping over the border would be horrendous!

I don't want anything super fancy....just something basic and club size!

^^^ Yeah, I'm still torn between lil mynx, xpole, and PS. I have howvere decided that I'd like a stainless steel 2" in.

I don't know how high my ceiling is and I'm not really sure how to find out, but I live in a pretty small college appartment. I'm 5'5 and in a recent post someone stated that with PS there didn't seem to be much room for inverts. Maybe it was just her particular model? I'd like to be able to do inverts, climbing, spinning, pretty much everything. This is soooooooo confusing.

Also, I realize that the multipiece would be best for apartments, but ar ethese as sturdy? If not, couldn't I get a one piece and use some sort of extention later on if needed?

Lil mynx appeals to me mostly because of the ease of taking it down, and that it's attached to what seems to look like some kind of plant hook in the ceiling. That is why I'm looking at those, but what do the otehr ones look like near the ceiling? Will it leave a mark?

Hi Stella...have you tried to follow up with Xpole? They take longer because they are in such high demand but it should never take that long.

I didn't realize they even ship to Sweden but there are problems with some countries that are out of the shipper's control when it comes to customs, etc.

I'm wanting to order the Platinum Stages Multi Piece Super Pole. I chose this pole primarily because I live within a few miles of them and can pick up the pole to avoid shipping charges.

My question is....has anyone tried using one of these poles on carpet? My entire apartment is carpet and I don't really want to get a bulky stage since I move frequently. I'm concerned about it slipping out of place, or are they secure enough?

Regarding freestanding poles mounted into a stage . . .

I am planning on building an inexpensive DIY version for use in our high vaulted ceiling living room. My wife wants something to practice on prior to her first audition, but is not ready to invest hundreds of dollars into a pro model yet. I have professional carpentry experience so I know I can engineer/build it safely. My question has to do with the surface area of the stage. For those who have experience on a 4' x 4' platform, is this sufficient and comfortable for most of the moves you practice? Would you prefer a larger platform if you had a carpenter who could build it for you? Do you find that you have to limit some spin techniques to prevent tipping, or can you do pretty much anything within reason? I have drawn up a super stable plan for a 6' diameter circle stage. It seems much more desirable than a 4' square, but there are drawbacks. The extra size and weight that adds to stability makes it more difficult to move (although it can roll, which helps). It would also require much more lumber/$$$. It would fit easily through doors, but harder to get around corners and into my garage for storage.

Would the 6' circle be overkill? Is a 4' square plenty big enough? Or would it be totally worth it if I am willing to build it? I'm soooo looking forward to seeing my wife spin and pose!

P.S.
After reading 340 posts on this thread, I will say this . . . Finding the framing in your ceiling is EXTREMELY important. Ceiling joists are called JOISTS, not studs. Studs are in the walls. The joists are almost always 1.5" thick. You must find both edges first, in order to be sure you are mounting to or under its center. Pass the studfinder back and forth repeatedly to get a good idea of where these edges actually are. Studfinders can be frustratingly inaccurate, even for pros. If you think you know where the joist is, and want to verify without actually drilling holes, measure 16" left and right and test again. There should be a pattern. Joists USUALLY (not always) run from an outside wall to an inner "load-bearing" wall. If you have any specific carpentry type questions, feel free to PM me.

I have a 4' square...and am having a 5' round base made.

first..pain to move...my 4' BARELY fits in the back of the SUV. It is heavy..and needs sand bags to weigh it down.

But if you are not planning on moving it far..it should be ok.

my stages are...guess you could say..home built. I had hired a guy to build them to my specs.

I have installed removable poles for the last 5 years...over 1000 actually!

NEVER once have I had a problem with the ceiling or the floors! Finding the joist is the most important thing...but you do not need to find both sides of the joist.

The ceiling plates are 12" across...so if you get the joist centered on the plate..there is never a problem.

HerHubby
02-03-2008, 11:11 PM
Thanks Alena. If someone is setting up a removable pole with a big friction plate like that, I totally agree with you that precisely finding the joist edges is not necessary. I intended that "P.S." section for individuals who have to screw brackets or flanges into a framing member for permanent poles, or removable poles that have permanent top pieces. It would be dangerous to inadvertently screw into the very edge of the joist, rather than the center, but think you are OK because you "hit wood". Lateral forces could split it out. Whether we are talking about permanent poles or removable poles, PS or X-pole or Lil Mynx or whatever. . . Proper installation is crucial to safety.

Now, regarding my initial question, do you find a 4' square to be sufficiently and happily large enough for practice, or do you find it to be annoyingly just a little too small? Are you ordering the larger circular stage as a nice little luxury or because you really need the extra space? Obviously, I don't have any experience in this matter. However my gut feeling tells me a 2' radius seems confining, while a 3' radius seems like a giant pain in the arse to move around. Everyone on this thread talks about the pole, but not so much about the space around it.

Hello HH!

Thanks for the information on the studs vs joists...I never knew that!

I have a 4x4 foot stage pole and we've had problems with both tipping and floor space.

Even a 6 foot diameter will limit the "floor work". By this I mean moves where you come down off the pole to lay/kneel/etc on the floor and then do some moves before getting back up. Of course these moves can be practiced OFF the stage but it would limit practicing transitions to and from floor work.

We've used a 4 foot stage for several shows and events and I can tell you that every time the 2 foot space has resulted in someone's feet stepping or slipping off the edge while they danced. So 6 foot is much better for walking and avoiding this problem.

Stability is a major problem. of course the large the base, the better the stability. With my four foot base I put around 400 pounds of sandbags underneath for stability. Sand bags are a pain as they always wind up leaking at some point. You could consider using filled gasoline cans - the flatter ones - to avoid the leaking and making a lighter weight stage that will move easier. However, you're still going to be moving a lot of stuff around.

How about connections against the ceiling and floor that you can slip a pole in and out of? Have you seen www.Markstaar.com ? They have devices which may help you come up with a design.

Finally, with regards to the pole itself, what material are you considering using? Make certain you use either brass, chrome or stainless.

Also if your pole is going to be higher than 12 feet, even if it's mounted to the ceiling, make certain it is reinforced by being lined. If it's on a stage and free standing, it should be lined if it's more than 6 feet tall above the surface of the stage.

HerHubby

Thanks for the tips Empyrean. That's the kind of experience I was hoping to tap into. I checked out Markstaar. They have parts that could be put together for use in our smaller upstairs family area (also vaulted) that would be similar to a fixed pole from Platinum Stages with their adjustable vaulted ceiling mount. Lil Mynx also offers a hybrid system which would be a polished stainless pole with an optional adjustable fixed top piece, while the bottom is a standard removable base made for use on carpet.

We have a weird layout in our house. The best and biggest space for her to practice is still not all that wide of a floor space. And it has a crazy high 2 story angled vaulted ceiling (@22'). The next best place is upstairs on a balcony room that overlooks the main area below. It has an angled vaulted ceiling that is about 10' (actually 10' 2" in the center of the area) but not as much floor space. I was originally thinking I would be best off building something freestanding for the big space on the first floor. But I'm now thinking the Mynx pole might be the better option considering what we have to work with. There is no good place with an 8' flat to put this, due to ceiling fans, furniture, etc. We could leave the adjustable mount on the ceiling all the time. She could move the pole in and out of place on her own when she felt like practicing. And I could remove the ceiling mount periodically to keep parents from asking questions. I could just tell them the hole is from a disco ball we put up for Halloween parties. ; )

Dang!! We need to hurry up and save a few hundred bucks so I can get my wife swinging on a pole soon!

Hello! I'm a newbie from DFW Texas. I just found this site yesterday and I am already sooo addicted! I love the hell out of it! I am so needing pole advice, so please help... I have been looking for my own pole to install in my living rm. (10 ft. ceiling). I have checked several sites and I was feeling pretty commited to the lilmynx spinning removable pole in pink. Then I saw a littlemynx petite pole. The regular pole is 2in. (I believe) and the petite 1.75 in. I am 5'2 and 106 lbs. Is there really a difference in the two widths, or do petite girls with petite hands do fine on a reg. pole? I also read something about not being able to slide do to the finish. I have never pole danced, so any advice or recommendations would be greatly appreciated. thanx. xoxo

if this is in the wrong place, sorry guys, it's my first post and I'm still learning to nav through the site :flirt:

I have a home-made pole in my basement right now. Its just galvanized steel that my boyfriend polished up for me. It works just fine for spins and whatnot but it would be nice to have a *real* pole. I do inverts and stuff at work and it would be great to be able to do them at home as well. I just cant afford $300+ for the damn thing. :P But the pole in this link is cheap!! Its *says* you can do the inverts on it but I dont know if I should trust it.::)

The top ceiling plate does have screw holes, so there's also the option to mount it to the ceiling for extra stability. Securing it to your ceiling joist is highly recommended if you plan on doing advanced pole tricks such as inverts, heavy side loads etc.... It will also give you greater peace of mind while dancing.


I think that excerpt says it all.

It's probably completely spring loaded like the Peekaboo. It sounds to me like the pole your boyfriend made may be better than this so it's probably not worth switching.

Nadia, that's the same pole as the "Electra-Pole" available from Peekaboo.
It is sturdier than the regular peekaboo, and you can do *some* things on it - I wouldn't trust it at all without it being screwed in... and I have heard from an online friend that it UNSCREWS if you spin anticlockwise!!!!

i have an x-pole and i think it is fabulous! it is held by friction with a really wide dome on the ceiling and the base tilts to compensate for any un-even surfaces. you can set it to spin or static and it is unbelievably sturdy, i can put it up in a matter of minutes and it stays put, even my partner can fling himself around it, he's 6ft2, and the pole doesn't budge. The carry bag is really cool its not a solid case but its strong and well made, you also get a dvd with pole basics which is hillarious to watch and good for my beginner friends. they have dropped the price quite a bit lately and even make a custom Jamilla Deville 42mm pole now.
