    Posted by Beautifulfreak on February 1, 2011 at 2:42 pm

    https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_evil.gif I feel mad with rage and frustration!!!!

    I have not a clue what im talking about and can't help myself. but the bottom half of the pole grabs the x-joint fine….the next long pole that I need to attatch to the x-joint wont tighten enough!!!

    The manual says DO NOT FORCE….my instructor was just like "Lol for it! new poles are stiff!" 

    I'm sorry but im so frustrated right now i could scream!!

    Your X-joint could be stripped.  If it won't tighten at all, call Xpole and have them send you a new joint.

    Ya, the written instructions are a little confusing imo.  When you do them side by side with the video it helps tho.  Get some rest and try again tomorrow.  🙂

    I watched the video on YT instead of reading the instructions.  Im more a visual kind of person.  Now it all makes perfect sense to me!

    agreed.  the manual is tuff to understand.  i called xpole and they walked me thru the installation cuz i suck at putting stuff together.  they were really good about it and stayed with me until i had it together. best advise is to take a break from it and call em as soon as u get a chance.  the pole, imo, is well worth the frustration u will go thru as

    You may be putting the joint in upside down? I had the same problem and I felt so dumb when I figured out what I was doing wrong.

    Oooh, good point vanessa!  Once I was using the shorter 7mm Xjoint that's meant for the very tippy top of the pole when added extensions are in place instead of the 8mm Xjoint.  Once I grabbed the right joint, problem fixed.
