Hi, DiddyBo Here is an installation video for the SV pole this might help you understand more about how to set up a pole. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=liNEsxC-LtI&feature=c4-overview&list=https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gifUUup79MtZnWP_SCAHeVlmzdQ

Happy to hear your feeling better!

Reenie gave some great advice and she's right about it not being a beginner move. I just wanted to say I hope you're feeling better ladynocturnal!

ChristinM, that's sad to hear you've decided to quit. Did you try any exercise to strengthen your core? Having pain isn't normal when you are learning to pole dance, pole dance can be a great workout and method of expression. Maybe if you tried again and focused more on strengthening before moving on to inverts you might have a better outcome?

This lesson has a link to the roller I have. It's nice and firm but not too hard. https://stage.studioveena.com/lessons/view/4dcc48af-f630-4a8e-aa67-78850ac37250

I know it's not silicone, but if you are looking for a pole with great grip while still having the ability to do static spins you could check out the SV pole as well. I think a silicone pole looks fun but then static spins would be out. And it's amazing that the pole takes seconds to put up and take down. https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_heart1.gif

One of the best things you can do for your hands and forearms is to prevent overuse injury. Overuse is the most common thing I see.
Rest days are important! When you're still building up strength, keep split grip work to a minimum. Limiting your attempts at whatever split grip move you're working on to no more than 10 times per session. No more than 3 times per week. Remember split grip work is NOT beginner work.
Always stretch the forearms and hands after poling.
Try using a foam roller and tennis ball as well.
Condition! Doing a week or more of conditioning work before moving on to split grip moves can be helpful in preventing injury. There are about 7 lessons here that focus on conditioning for the hands, wrists and forearms. This OLD video has a some good tips as well. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q8QzZnFkXn8&list=PLyXWQXP3dueofybLatPPuLCbvfSPF2oSF&index=17
Use wrist guards only if you find you need them! Starting off using them will not allow you to strengthen the muscles. However once you've become more advanced and begin working on split grips heavily you might want to use them. I don't have monster strong wrists at all, but I only occasionally use a wrap if I plan on working heavily on split grips.
I think the 45mm is the most universal size for poles, it fits most dancers best. I have personally had wrist pain using my 40mm but it doesn't seem to be an issue with the 45. I haven't used my 50mm in forever. lol
I'm sure others will have more helpful info too! https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

Polefit Korea, if you are taking the lessons here try working on some of the conditioning lessons for the core. Lessons are placed in groups so try starting with this one:
https://stage.studioveena.com/lessons/view/4df4be6f-3160-46c9-9e73-67a10ac37250 There are 7 total for the core. Do them 3 times a week and see if that helps.
Also if you haven't started working on back mobility that could help too. https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif
