YES! I've had a very similar experience between stainless steel and chrome.. needing different grips. What those grips are probably depends on the person, but I think it's very normal to need different ones for the variety of pole finishes. I know many people that swear by itac, but I don't personally like it. I recommend you try it anyways though! Other ones to try:

In general I have dry skin, so it's important for me (in all seasons) to get a little sweaty before poling.. it's help my grip ALOT! If it's tough for you to sweat in the cold months, one of our subscribers has this AMAZING dry skin spray (Thuy Dinh) that I love to spray on before warming up and it works like a charm!!! https://heauxxxapparel.com/products/tree-frog-grip-dry-skin-formula
