I use an x-pole, and i am right handed. but i feel as though i am better when i do moves w my left hand going counterclockwise and my xpole begins to unscrew.. an idea on how to prevent this?

I am right-handed too, but i find some spins easier to do with my left arm on top because that arm is more flexible (like reverse grab and pretzel). I think another reason might be because we may grab the pole too tightly with our dominant hand, so we don't spin as much. However, your pole shouldn't unscrew either way you spin. i have an xpole and don't have this problem- and i spin counterclockwise alot. If you're sure it's unscrewing/loosening maybe you need to tighten it?
I'm right handed and I also felt more comfortable spinning left handed too. I now spin both ways but I was much hard for me to learn on the right side. Thats way I always say try a move on both side because you never know your non dominate side might work better. 😀 Any way about the X unscrewing, you shouldn't have that problem, They do (along with other portable poles) over a few long uses (but not right away) tend to need some tightening but not enough to cause a problem. Make sure to use the little metal sticks that come with the pole to tighten it once it up. 🌸
Well, i tighten it about as much as i can even my boyfriend came over nd helped me set it up the first time, and he was the one that tightened it and it happened from the first time. and i get scared to tighten it too much to the point where i cant unscrew it, since my dad is close minded i have to put it up and down every time i need to use it. -_- i do use the metal things that come with it but idk.. maybe ill try to tighten it a little more. about the gripping i feel like if i grip any looser i wont be able to do a thing -_- ugh this is irritating. well ill try to screw it on tighter nd ill let you guys know what happened. thanks for your suggestions!
Woohoo! i got the courage to tighten it just a little more and the unscrewing wasnt so bad! it still happend but not as much as before. and i was able to execute the spins left handed easily with not much trouble! So since i was able to unscrew it easily while putting it down im going to tighten it a little harder next time! =D
Ok i received my pole yesterday... so excited to finally have it right. well i get the whole thing up and the cap that covers the screw in part wont go over the little notches at the very top. one side gives and goes in but the other side won't. do i really need this cap cover. do i need to call x pole manufacturer. can someone help me please. 😕

You can call them if you want and they'll take care of it for you...my 45 x has the same problem but it doesn't bother me. 🌸
yup yup. V's right. i honestly think its pointless, unless your actually grabbing the very top of the pole.. which i dont think youll be doing much. mine goes on perfectly and i dont even put it on. the only time ive actually had it on was the very first time i assembled my pole, but since i figured it was literally pointless and just a cover, i dont even use it any more =) unless it bothers you that much, then call and see if they can do anything. =D <3anGel
