    Wow. Thanks for all the GREAT responses! Yeah, I had a construction worker put up my pole… so you can see my reluctance on taking my 12 foot pole down and reconstruct it by myself. I need to get myself a boyfriend! I tried to call X Pole and they directed me to get online and watch the construction video. I will figure it out. I am about to post a nice pic of my scars.

    Ok, well they don’t open until 9 a.m. So, I should just go to bed and try not to obsess about it until morning!!! I have my master’s degree, but the idea of having to deconstruct this pole makes me want to cry. I have a feeling that I will be having a break-down on my floor, rocking back and forth, repeating some sort of mantra like “screws should face in… screws should face in….” ANYWAY, I think it’s time for me to get to bed!!

    Ok, I will call them. Update you tomorrow. OH I HOPE I don’t have to take that whole pole down again. Wait, are they an Australian company? If so, I can call them now… Anyway, I will leave you in a soap-opera suspense to let you know what I have to do! And I will try static, even though I can’t even get around once on a static! Hahaha!

    Oh Snap! I just saw your picture!! yeah… ok… so I have to deconstruct my whole pole?! Crap. It hasn’t budged from the ceiling, but I see that it is wrong by the way yours is flush with the pole.

    Lefty-loosy rightie-tightie…. They just get so tight I can’t move them in further. I will check with X pole… It was harder to put up than the videos portrayed.. Especially since I had to order 2 separate extensions. When I tried a static pole, I just kinda “SKREECHED” to a halt. I can do all the basic pole moves… front hook, back hook, pole sit, knee spin, etc.. on a spin pole… It would take a while to find out how to spin on a static. I figured that wasn’t the correct way for the pole to be, considering the gashes to my legs, but I was just really excited to actually FINALLY get the pole up that I just considered it a price to pay. You are AWESOME, thank you for the UNBELIEVABLY fast responses to problems!! This site and everybody on it are just FABULOUS!!

    I have always had my pole on spin-mode. Should I go to static? I have been poling for about 2 months. No, I don’t have sweaty hands. I could just not be used to the split grip… As far as the pole moves I was talking about… Believe it or not, they are on all 3 of the beginner DVDs (The Art of Pole- Lesson 2; Felix Cane beginner pole; and I can’t remember the name of the other beginner pole dvd)… but it’s very frustrating!! And yes, I have tried to screw in those bolts even further, but they won’t budge. You should see these scars from those bolts!!! UNBELIEVABLE!!! Thank you ALL for your responses.
