Ha ha! I love it! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

Maybe I’ll actually muster up the guts to part-take in this one finally.

YAY!! My X-Pert + extension arrived today!

When putting it up I replaced main pole B with the 750mm extension but even with the adjuster fully extended it still didn’t reach the ceiling https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_scratch.gif so I added the smallest extension and now have about 2" of adjuster showing.

I must say that the X-pert is a brilliant piece of design!
It took a bit getting familiar with all the pieces and I was super careful to not over tightening it (turning the adjuster ever so slightly at a time) so it I think In all It took me about 2 hours to put up. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_tongue.gif
But I can see how easily it can be done once you know what you’re doing.

I’m very glad that they changed the design cause when standing on my toes fully extending my arm high I grab the pole right at the dome… right where the old adjuster cover snaps used to be. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_eek.gif

Haven’t had a proper practice on it yet but so far I’m in love!

Just an update if anyone ever has the same problem.

I contacted X-pole and they said that indeed I would be able to use a 750mm extension with the Xpert! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif
So happy since I almost thought I couldn’t buy one. Thanx for the hele everyone!

So I ordered my pole and extension (sooner than I thought I’d be able to, YAY!) and am right now in a place I know many of you can relate to… waiting for my pole to arrive! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_bounce.gif

Thank you all for answering!

I to almost started to cry as I measured my ceilings… just 2" off!

I have emailed X-pole to ask them about the extensions for the Xpert and I’ll be sure to let you all know… but it’s nice to know that it theoretically should be possible. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

I sadly don’t know of any store that sells X-poles, I went to London myself to try and buy one from a store since shipping it to my country costs almost as much as the pole itself, but no luck… I found I can only buy it online.

But have you thought of looking into mail forwarding services?
I live in a rather remote corner of the world and often have a hard time ordering things from the US directly to me, but since mail forwarding I can order whatever I want! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

These are two services I’ve used and both have excellent service:

I’m not sure about APO boxes though but at least it’s something you can look into.

Best of luck!

Thanx for the tips you guys!

I was thinking about buying Veenas lessons after I got my Xpole but I see now that I might benefit greatly from them up until then as well, especially the strengthening section.

I guess I’ll be working allot from the pole sit with planks, flatline scorpio and stuff like that and I guess that if I don’t hook my legs onto the pole I can work on getting my shoulder mount controlled.
