Oh yeah I have" launched" many times while doing reverse grabs. lol Also nearly flew off when I uses spin mode for the first time!
Here is an old bloopers vid that's kinda funny NOTE; ( I do not recommend kicking into the twisted grip like I was! That's naughty,https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_evil.gif but everyone was doin it. LOL https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_safesex.gif

@ Lainey…unfortunately without knowing what the DRs have told you or really knowing what the injury was I can't tell you if its ok. The best thing you can do is listen to your body and be sure that your stretching the whole body and not just certain muscle groups. In order to be truly flexible we have to work the whole body. Sometimes issues with one part of the body are coming from some where else entirely. https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif

When you stop seeing progress or feel as though you have regressed, its time to either take a break (from whatever it is your doing). Taking time off does not mean you will loose everything, it may be just what your bodies is asking you to do. https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif
Take a look at your stretching routine…
Are you always really warm before you start?
Have you been pushing too far? (I only do heavy flexibility training 2x's a week, sometimes only once)
Stretching too far or too often will not give most people good results.
Are you using your pole dance time as an opportunity to extend into the positions and movements as fully as you can? This will help you see improvement as well. https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

Eagle..yes, use the top front of the thigh. it is rested against the pole….this is why I call it a thigh rest. A big mistake is jumping into it and not leaning back allowing the thigh to rest on the pole. If your taking the lessons try watching it again and you'll see I totally rest my thigh on the pole and notice how I pull my legs up towards the pole bending at the hips/waist. There is not a straight line from torso to knees. Thigh and bottom hand are pushing against the pole, top arm is pulling, hips and body turn to face the pole.

Platinum stages does not have a chrome finish pole….their silver pole is Stainless steel…for some dancers SS is really slippery (like myself) HATE SS.
I have both Chrome and TG finish and they are pretty comparable once the pole is warm TG is still has a bit more grip for me anyway. I notice the TG has better grip right from the start though.
I don't think Titanium is great for beginning dancers, because it is so grippy you'll get calluses really fast. New dancers already tend to over grip the pole so it can be frustrating to learn new spins on a grippy pole.

OH GOOD GRIEF…*then as I begin the lift..Push with the bottom arm. Its placed as low as it can go! Ok now I will go tuck in my kids….I https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_heart1.gif typos

*Larger not lager https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

For me…its easiest on a lager diameter pole.
I have to drop the head (like everyone says)
then as I begin the lift pushing with the top arm the is placed as low as It will go.
I turn my body toward the pole so the collarbone of my top arm is almost against the pole
push hard through the top arm and hand.
Keep the knees tucked in until you become freakishly strong LOL I still have to tuck.

Oh no, no, fairy, I didn’t mean you personally shouldn’t be doing spins. I was simply pointing out again why its placed in beginner. As you said there are other moves that can be used to gadge strength.
-
I do show to lift the inside leg first 🙂
-
I Have placed some of these more difficult moves in beginner because they are strength builders….if you can't hold your own body weight you should not be doing spins! IF you can't get it from the ground its probably a technique issue….From the air my guess is your forced to use the bicep of the top arm and your not even realizing it, but with out seeing you do it I really can't say.

you may be standing too close to or too in front of the pole. There needs to be quite I bit of distance from the pole when doing this from standing…well more than you might think. https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif
