Not OP, but my wife is into pole for fitness. I got her the one from Amazon, and if you are just wanting to test it out as as a hobby, it is fine. I purchased the X-pole about 6 months ago and there is a huge difference in quality between the two; most notably, the chrome finish on the x-pole seems to have better grip than the amazon pole, and the setup and teardown is MILES better with the x-pole. I don't feel like I wasted my money going the cheaper route to start then buying the more expensive option. Hope that helps.

I'm super excited that I saw this AMA because my wife has been really really into this for a while now (2 years ish). My question is; we live in a rural area (an hour or so outside of Atlanta) and finding a pole for sport class is pretty much impossible this far out. Even the ones offered relatively close aren't centered around this particular sport, but more about stripping. Do you know of any good instructional videos that we could get that would be a good starting point? Thanks!

I'll pass this along. Thank you!
