Xpole rotated joints!

ok, wading in here…
I've only had a few problems with my old school x-poles in my studio and those have been from the threads sticking, which is common with titanium (I married an engineer who advised) and putting them on stages that cause bounce. I've not had a joint slip out as such and have always had aweseom service from X-Pole. But that's my experience and can't be the norm.
The C-cup pull apart tools work a treat for the stuck threads and we're about to put bearing grease on the threads to help them. again, it's sticky, but won't seep, so no grip issues. YAY!
Some stages flex, causing poles to slip. So, I learned to check, check and check again. It's just common sense. Also, if a pole is used lots, then it will need more checking.
Sure, there will be some people who will let down a brand; it's going to happen anywhere and at any time. I've had no issues with the old school x-poles I have and have found the company awesome to deal with at all points. Although, I live in a small country and have always emailed Head Office with problems.
Hope this helps. It's not good that some customer service people have let down a really good brand.

ARGH my x pole did this I had taken it down for a check over and the one x joint falls through unless it’s reeeeaaaallllly tight and now it rotates one way but not the other then it stopped rotating completely and is now not lined up, I told x pole what happened and they sent me a new x joint IN THE WORNG SIZE! So so so annoyed!

So after reading all this, I took my pole down last night to inspect it and to my horror, found that the top extension (the small standard one to fit a regular sized ceiling) has started to flare out from the joint. Shattered

Just remembered that resonable weight is fine on x-poles.
We've had All Blacks swinging and inverting on ours, with no problems. These boys are 100kg plus of solid muscle and national icons, so I wasn't alloed to hurt them as it was for telly. The pole didn't come down or have any problems. I also have students of that mass using them with no issues.
If you're having really big issues, try emailing x-pole UK. They've always been realy helpful.
