Anyone who has worked with a static and a spin pole knows that they are two completely different beasts. Of course, for many people, they learn on static and there’s no warning before they try out spin pole for the first time.

When you’re working with a static pole, you’re in control of the movements, and your strength and movement is what is causing you to spin around the pole.

On spin pole, however, the pole will be inclined to move with the slightest edge of movement, the faintest curl in, and you’re sent through a dizzy cloud of momentum.
