So I've been having problems with my xpole and I think part of it is me over tightening. Does anyone have any tricks for tightening it just right? I called xpole once and the lady said to tighten it with one hand and then make 2 turns when you need to start using 2 hands but i felt when doing it that was more than I normally do.

Usually I tighten it until there is tension, then I tighten some more with small tug checks so I don't pull it out of being level with tightness but can kind of feel how much contact its making. When I can do a nice tug check without fear, I go by 1/3rd turns, to put just enough tension to make it safe on static and spin mode, but not overtightened. Its a bit tedious and probably unneccessary, but it works for me. I, of course, spot check it before poling eacg time to make sure nothing settled or expanded, so usually a tug and a basic spin. If it feels loose or tight, I can go up or down a 3rd turn. Just make sure you aren't warping the dome or bowing the pole (typically what happens when overtightened...) Good luck!
