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:

Grip it (on Amazon) https://amzn.to/4fbLqQwMonkey Hands (I like the red one): https://us.monkeyhands.eu

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

So happy you’re feeling better too babe!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼 love seeing you back doing more pole things! Also v proud of your cup grip handspring and almosttttt Phoenix!! 🥳👏🏼🤗

Movement related: I've been better this past month giving myself lower intensity days / active recovery days vs pushing myself on a really sore / achy body. There is definitely a season to push and I'm currently not in one hehe so I'm embracing that!!

Non pole related: I organized an out of control closet in my apartment yesterday LOL it sounds funny, but it's one of those things that has been on my list forever and it just felt so good to finally get it done!!

And another WELCOME NEW SUBSCRIBERS!
