    I'm doing a routine on an x-stage lite in a musical I am in, the routine is on the spinning pole. I have practised at home on an x-pole and all has been fine, but i just can't seem to get a good spin on an x-stage, even if i start of with a fast move it still more or less comes to a complete stop after about 3 rotations. Is there any way to keep the pole spinning? xxx

    Contact x pole and see if it's okay to lube the bottom or put liquid graphite on the bottom to get it slippery.

    There are a few screws that could possibly interfere with the spin mechanism on the XSL.  ALSO, because this design has only one spin bearing (base) whereas the XPole has two (base and top) this may affect how fast you can spin.  One last thing, some of your spin momentum will be taken up with the wobble of the free standing pole….that is just physics.

     

    I would first check with the screws.  I have never had this issue on our XSLs but then again, I never played with spin mode all that much.

    This happens on my xstage lite as well. Let me know if you manage to fix it!
