Have you called X Pole? I know there are lots of people on here who have had their X's longer than a year. Something is not right.

Amyxshi does an unhooked version and finds it easier. I know there is a thread on it somewhere around here.
I have people try this from a side plank on the ground first. Top leg is in front of the pole, bottom leg is behind the pole, hook the top leg, go up into a side plank, place the bottom leg in position (Momma, this was how I was showing you that one night). The pole also is not completely in the knee pit, whcih is where I think a lot of people try to place the pole. My placement is pretty much at the top of the calf and bottom of hamstring (on the hooking leg).

This took me sooo long to get to the paoint where I could nail it each and every time I tried and it took at least 6 months to get over the pain.

Upandover, are you sure you bought real X Poles? The ones I have are in no way crappy workmanship or cheap materials.

X Pole has stage poles. I have been on both an X and a PS and I would NEVER buy a PS star stand alone (as a side note, Alethea had a huge thing on FB about these poles and how dangerous they are). I do not wish to hijack this thread regarding that but you can read a lot about them here:

There is also a company out of the UK called R Pole but they are SUPER expensive.

See and I think the X is easier. The whole pushing while you try to turn the mynx has messed me up on more than one occasion, but the X is kinda top heavy.

In gymnastics top of foot to floor, in pole foot to side on the ground but pointed in things like jade and chopsticks.

The standard Lil Mynx has a mount that you screw into the ceiling and it is quite secure. I had mine up for over 3 years and had no issue, but I do know that if you screw it into the drymall in your ceiling it can and will eat away at the drywall and if you do not regularly check the pole it can come down once it eats that hole. I have seen their travel pole and am not enthused by it. I don't think the amount of surface area they have on the ceiling is enough. For the money X Pole is your best bet.

OMG….NEVER post sites like that one. I have spent the last 20 minutes drooling on my keyboard. They have feather outfits….not crazy about the top but the skirt??

As a witness, when Momma busted out a SM I was shocked. SM comes to her easier than a regular invert (now it took me months before I could do this thing and she gets it in a few months after starting pole). Sadly it has been too long since we poled together (even though we only live 20 minutes away from each other….hint hint), although I will give her a break because she does have young kids and a guy who works crazy hours. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cool.gif

I was not even going to go into all of the customer service issues…..
BTW, the studio that I used to go to had a pole break while the student was on it…..literally break in half. PS told her that they are not meant to be used in "studio usage" and that they were only safe for personal use. The bases (and this was all of her PS poles) where you stop and start spin also would give way so that the pole would spin even when it was not supposed to. PS would do nothing about it except tell us how to fix the issue on your own. The fix was to pound the base off and epoxt where the pieces fit together. Either that or you had to take it to a machine shop to get it removed. Either way the plastic base part gets damaged.

Find out if they have fixed the issues before purchasing. For some time they had issues with incorrect threading so the pieces would not fit together all the way. They also had issues with them breaking at the seam. This was about 2 years ago. Also, are you a stainless or chrome person? I personally have better and more consistent grip on the chrome X than I ever did on the PS Stainless.
