Ok thanks! Glad to know. Cos i feel uneasy hearing the metal sound whenever i use. By the way do you often experience the 3 adjustable screws keep getting loose? It came loose once when i did a a static spin and last few days my pole slipped when I was up the pole doing some static tricks. It got stucked in my ceiling light which saved me from crashing down. Then i realised the screws were loose! Learnt a lesson to check everytime before class. But now i have a phobia. They seem to get loose easily no matter how tight i make them.
