I love the new design and still think it’s one of the best on the market and exceeds the original X and sell it to my students. I could sell any pole I wanted as the companies are all willing to allow schools to sell their poles but I choose XPole because I like it best.
The "problems" with the joint are yet to be determined as a design flaw or user error when assembling the pole. If it’s a design flaw, I’m confident that Xpole will stand behind their product and all new products have some flaws that take time to work out.

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

I recieved my XPert in February.
Since then, I have not had it up. This is purely because I used the 125mm with the old version of the X-Pole and so I ordered the standard set and didn’t purchase any additional extensions. I went to assemble the pole with my boyfriend and the 125mm didn’t fit – the pole was too tall – even with the adjustor rod closed.
I was then told I could try a 100mm which is 4" and the 125mm is 5". X-pole suggested that the 100mm would suit me ok and if I had any problems to contact them straight away.
Unfortunately, I did have a problem. the 100mm extension (the smallest extension they do) is now not available to buy at the moment, due to a fault I found with it. Basically, the top adaptor would not fit all the way into the 100mm extension while the 100mm was attached to the 180mm X-Joint. The solution to why this was doing this is still unknown but hopefully X-Pole will come up with a solution to get the 100mm to work. (i’m hoping they don’t scrap the 100mm)
Overall, I haven’t used my pole yet but it seems a great pole. I”m not sure if i prefer the old version of the xpole.
I am not going to use my pole until im sure wether i want to keep the XPert.
but don’t let any reviews put you off, if you want it you buy it https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif
