Can’t tell you the difference between the X-Pert and the original design but I’m quite happy with the X-Pert. I had to fidget with the pieces a little bit to get them to be totally flush at the joints but nothing too bad. I like the smaller base plate so that it doesn’t come in the way and how the pole is whole from top to bottom (no exposed threading part/extender). There is the added benefit to being able to tighten the pole from the bottom… no more chairs or step-ladders. If you set it up correctly you will have a great time w/no worries! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_sunny.gif

She looked great… I love her dancing style. She looked really tired by the end of it though!

Here’s a few tips that might help…
– Clean your pole well to make sure you don’t have any residues or oils from… whatever.
– Take a quick shower to wash off all lotions and body grease/sweat/oil
– Make sure to warm up and warm up the pole as well… a cold pole = no grip
– SQUEEEEEEZE with all your might. Clamp those legs together like your life depended on it. If you’re newer to pole you might not realize your legs aren’t strong enough for inverting. It takes a lot of time and practice to be able to squeeze your thighs together around the pole. Try some leg strengthening exercizes or moves… sitting on the pole (upright) is a great way to do that.
Hope that helps. -
I have TWO tension-mounted poles (Platinum Stages and X-Pole) and both are considered professional dance poles. I have never felt unsafe on either one of them… or if I did it was because I was unsure of my own strength or capability to do a new trick. If you look at competition videos you will see X-Poles are a very popular way to go. So if pros like Jenyne and Felix (with their crazy antics) use them, so can you. Maybe your instructor is unaware about the X-Pole and its specs? Maybe she was trying to keep you away from poles like Peek-A-Boo or Carmen Electra? Now those are bad poles.

I have a PS stainless pole and I had to go to X Chrome. Stainless takes forever to get warm and with my sweaty hands it was a nightmare. Chrome is working for me much better (so far… haha).
