Stiff spinning mode?
Hey there everyone, its been a while since I was last on here so I hope you’re all doing good https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif Got a slight problem and wondered if anyone could help me?
I’ve always been taught on a static pole by my instructor…and whenever I practice on my chrome x-pole at home I’ve always used static. Recently though I though I’d have a go on spinning mode, just to get a feel for it. So I unscrewed the hex joints until they were flush (as it states in the instructions) and gave the pole a bit of a spin with my hands. It could be just me, but I’ve seen dancers use spinny mode on a lot of youtube videos and they seem to spin a lot more freely and quickly, but when I did a basic spin on my pole it felt quite stiff and didn’t spin very freely at all, even when I do a basic walk around it it still doesn’t move much! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cry.gif I know that over tightening the pole can cause this but I did a double check and it doesn’t seem over tight, just enough to stop it from falling or moving. My x-pole is set up in my bedroom which has carpet laid down…could this affect it much? https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_scratch.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_scratch.gif
any advice or tips would be much appreciated https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif Thanks guys! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/alien.gif

If the spin mode on the X pole is stiff or slow, chances are your pole is too tight. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

I’ll listen to the expert I think and have another go! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif Thanks V. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

If loosening doesn’t fix it I would call X pole…. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

Also double check that your pole is not off center. Mine did that and I found if i took it down and then put it back up it worked fine. I personally take the hex screws all the way out when I put mine in spinning mode.

I was thinking about taking the screws out altogether aswell but hesitated a little …is it safe to do that (silly question! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_redface.gif hehe) https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif
