    There is a good possibility that you have your pole over tightened.  Loosen it a bit from the ceiling and try again.  There are a few threads on here where people have had the same problem and this is usually the case.

    I have the same problem. My pole feels like it's too tight.. it spins halfway around unless I really give it lot of momentum. But the poles at the studio I practice at spin so easily! I'm waiting on suggestions with you 🙂

    I kept overtightening my pole at first so once I had it at the perfect length I drew a line on the flat part of the adjuster screw so I knew where to tighten it to each time!

    Hi Ladies,

    That is correct.  If the spin mode is not smooth, the pole is most likely overtightened.  Loosening the pole a few turns and trying again should solve it!

    Thanks,
