I’m really new to poling, too, and I found the pole sit easier with both legs straight instead of having one or both legs bent – have you tried that? I’m working at being comfortable with all the variations, but straight legs seems better for me right now. I consider my thighs to be large, and I do wonder how much difference that makes…..

Thank you for explaining, Alyson. I’m a true beginner and have had my pole just a few weeks – I have had it up and down twice without trouble, but will be very careful to line things up properly each time. I do think that if a little contact with the screws causes that much damage there might be some room for improvement in the existing system. So far I love my pole, though!

I’m really glad you were able to solve the problem, Alyson! Do you have any idea what originally caused the problem? That’s something we’d all like to avoid, I think….

I’m so glad to hear that, too! Remember I was worried about ordering chrome just like you were? I’ve had my 45mm chrome x-pert up for just one week now, and I’m also loving it. I had never touched any pole before so have no way to compare it to other sizes or finishes, but think it will be fine for me. Being a total beginner I didn’t expect to be able to do a lot at first, of course. Enjoy your new pole and your lessons! I’m also glad that your life seems to have settled down now – sometimes things can be very difficult….

Tropicalpole, I’m having similar feelings – my chrome xpert xpole was shipped yesterday and should arrive early next week. I also struggled with the decision before ordering and decided on the chrome after considering the same things you did. I’ve decided to give it a try, and if I have to use grip aid I’ll do that. If after a period of time I really don’t like it I’ll try to sell it and replace it with TG, but until I’ve had time to play on it I really won’t know. Maybe I’ll love it and decide that it really was the best choice for me! Let’s think positively and stay excited about our new poles – and please let me know how you like yours when you get it… s
