Has anyone mix matched Xpole pieces?
Just wondering… is it possible to buy titanium gold or brass Xpole pieces for my 45mm Chrome Xpole?
My pole is 3 years old. I don't really want to buy a new one yet but I'm getting pretty tired of my chrome's lack of grip. Is is possible to just buy the TB pole pieces/extensions without buying a new pole? I don't care if the TG pole doesn't match with the dome or base. Would the parts screw in the same?
I had this idea after I tried a brass xstage. I really loved the grip on that thing!

At three years old, I'm assuming you have the old style screw together joints. In this case your only option would be titanium gold. While I believe the joints will physically screw together I'm unsure of the interaction between the two metals, if they would bond or potentially not have enough friction to stay together.
Really though, you'd be in it for nearly as much money as buying a new pole. In my opinion you'd be much better off just purchasing a new pole, with the modern joints and pole technologies.

That's my problem too. My 5 year old pole has a different bottom base and different x-joints than the current ones, even different from yours at 3 years. It doesn't even have the middle piece inside the pole itself. Can't purchase extensions unless X-Pole has old stock somewhere from the same old manufacturer. And I was also told the 3 year old ones are different from the current ones.

I was just thinking of this. I think you can swap out the B and the extions. You can’t swap A. I wish they would sell just the A as well. I want a brass pole but don’t have the money now. At least the top half can be brass.

Someone did this recently:

I have the origianl X Pole (the screw together) and I was told that they will continue to sell extensions and replacement parts for them. I am not sure how the 2 metals would react to each other, but as far as ordering parts, you should still be able to get them. Mine is about 3 or 4 years old and I have continued to get new extensions. Good luck! Hope it helps!

Are the threads IN the pole TG and chrome plated??? If so I can see you guys wondering about metal comparability, but if it is just unplanted metal in there, I don’t see how that would be an issue as it would be played threads touching unplanted threads either way.
