Trena started this discussion · 12/7/2009

Ok so anyone who's a member of the X-Pole Facebook page will have recieved this email but for those of you who arent I thought you might find it interesting! I certainly did & Im quite excited about it!! Stacey Pope December 7 at 1:08pm Reply FINALLY....................................................... The wait is over. Vertical Leisure would like to introduce their new X-Pole range: Vertical Leisure have been working hard over the last couple of years to re develop the X-Pole range. As the industry has moved forward, the only natural thing for us to do would be to develop and grow with it. All our new pole’s have been tested and tried by some of the world’s top dancers and instructors. We have listened to all the issues that you as a customer have had in the past and taken all of this on board. Vertical Leisure World Leaders in Pole technology have been designing and manufacturing the market leading X-Pole range of products for the last 5 years. Working with top dancers and our in house designer the X-Pole range has been at the forefront of pole innovation releasing products specifically designed for people who want to pursue the art of pole exercise and dance. An X-Pole is not a gimmick to dance round it is part of a range of purpose built professional poles and stages designed to be used by all levels, from beginner to expert. X-Poles are installed and used by top dancers in studios and gyms all over the world. All our NEW products now come with the X-Joint – (Patent Pending) The X-Joint is a revolutionary NEW tube joint developed after 2 years of consultation and testing with the world’s best instructors who wanted a quick, easy to install pole with hi-stability/rigidity and most importantly strength. X-Joint 100% meets those requirements and will in the future become the industry standard for multi-piece pole assembly. After years of fighting to do up and undo screw together joints, X-Joint tube assembly takes seconds not minutes. It creates a stronger more rigid joint with less pole flex and eliminates any possibility of tube to tube rotation or joints coming undone with opposite rotation moves. Also X-Jointed pole tubes have zero transition (no gap) between joints even when the pole is flexed. Simple to use, the X-Joint slides into each pole tube and is quickly locked in place with a key, making pole assembly and disassembly a dream experience. X-Joint is now featured in all new X-Pole and Stages. X-Pole Sport: Bottom Loading and STATIC only... - £149.99 – Available NOW in 45mm chrome, 45 + 50mm Titanium Gold.

Incorporating the revolutionary new X-Joint, assembly and installation of the SPORT very quick, enhanced even further by its bottom tightening adjuster(bottom loading) which means no ladders are required for installation.

DesireeMann · 12/8/2009

minicoopergrl · 12/8/2009
the Xpert has OEM parts, Im getting OEM parts for my MINI ( 😢 needs a new clutch). Im so ready to have an xpole, hell a pole of my own!
DesireeMann · 12/8/2009
ok what are OME parts? I feel so lost 🙁 Again what is bottom loading? And OME Parts? Thanks Dez

This is awesome!!!! Stinks that I just bought an Xpole about a month ago though. I would have loved to have gotten the new model to start with. I love my pole but am really interested to see the new design. I am really stoked about the bottom loading feature. Whenever I wear heels my hands rest on the adjuster cover that spins whether it is on static or spin and is really troublesome. The bottom loader will eliminate this problem all together so I am really excited. Does anyone know if there is a way to get the adjuster cover to remain static or does it just spin no matter what? I went to the Xpole site and couldn't find any info or pics. Does anyone know if they will release this pole in a 45mm? Also, is the new pole going to cost more than the poles currently available?
miss fern · 12/8/2009
Yes, my company has been telling me a bottom loading spinning and static pole was coming out in time for Christmas and they were right! WOOHOO! I wonder if the Xtreme Upgrade Kit can be used with a 45mm pole?

Thanks Dez OEM = An original equipment manufacturer, or OEM, manufactures products or components which are purchased by a purchasing company and retailed under the purchasing company's brand name. OEM refers to the company that originally manufactured the product. Bottom loading means that you dont need a ladder to set up your pole or a man to do it either! 😉

I have the same problem. when i climb up to the top those top 4 or 5 inches of the pole are basically useless because the adjuster cover just spins and spins...bottom loading sounds cool. I'm pretty sure my next pole will be the 45mm.
Louisex · 12/8/2009
the adjuster cover doesnt need to be used. I never use my adjuster cover, its just there to make the pole look better. and there isnt much difference between the 45mm and the 50mm as iv had a 45mm and i upgraded to a 50mm. after all its only 5mm difference which is very little. X

Lol, it depends how far out you have the adjuster rod screw out showing lol. I only have a little bit of it showing. Also, I upgraded because the standard size pole in the UK for competitions is 50mm. X

what is the upgrade kit?

The adjuster cover isn't supposed to spin!! Call Xpole, they should be able to help you with that. Otherwise, just take the cover off.. you really don't need it for anything, & you'll have more usable pole area without it! Actually, if the cover is covering a part of your actual pole & not only the adjuster thingie that sticks out, I'd say take it off even if you DO fix the spinning problem.. it's much better for your hands to be gripping the actual pole, instead of the cover anyway!! 🐱 🐱 🎅 🎅 🦌
SissyBuns · 12/8/2009
My adjuster cover is covering about 5 inches of the screw thingy. Maybe I need to use another extension...
azriel · 12/8/2009
LOL i just saw the new posts about this after i posted.. why does this always happen to me? 😂 😂 What Louisax said- typically, the cover should be longer than the part of the adjuster rod that sticks out, which means that the cover is also covering a part of your actual pole. If you have so much adjuster sticking out that it wouldn't make a difference if you took it off, then you might want to buy another extension. Somewhere in the Xpole pamphlet it tells you how much of it should be sticking out.. the less the better, & the more stable your pole will be. I don't think it's that dangerous or anything, but I ended up getting an extension because of this, and now my pole goes practically all the way up, with only like less than an inch of adjuster sticking out. 😛 Sissy.. if it's covering 5 inches of the adjuster rod, how much of your actual pole is it covering?

Damn it, I also got a new xpole not too long ago. Wish I had known about this...I hate needing to use a ladder but didn't want to buy a pole that is associated with a girlfriend of Hugh Hefner's
byrdgrrl · 12/8/2009
Bottom loading = don't need ladder = byrdgrrl Happy Dance!!! 🥂 👍 I move around a lot and can't carry a ladder. One upgrade kit coming up!! No more excuses!! Oh, did I mention: HAPPY? 🤸
RoxyPink · 12/8/2009

byrdgrrl · 12/8/2009
Any idea when the new goodies will be on the website?? I just had a look and no joy.

Thank You For Answering My Question's

Hey ladies, I spoke with my rep at Xpole US the other day...here is some info though it's vague. The reason it's vague is because XPole US has not confirmed THEIR information as of yet. The letter in the OP is for Xpole UK...and does not fully apply to the US yet. In the US they are anticipating the new poles may be out in March or April...but they won't know for certain until they get more information next week. The UK traditionally has gotten some of the new products before they are available in the US. The bottom loading will come in 45mm and 50mm. I will say this... I saw the prototype for this pole back in 2006 when we worked at the AVN show with Vertical Leisure....it's been a long time in the making. The conversion kit has already been available in the UK for I think about a year now....and so far they have not offered it in the US, even though they had it there. I have no information about whether it's slated to be a US product. Nothing was said about pricing but my GUESS is that it may go up since the prices in the UK went up with these new products. This is MY guess...not any info I've received from Xpole or Vertical Leisure!

You can just buy an extension to literally extend your poles usability. I never use the cover up piece-I just use extensions. Bottom loading means that you can now set the tension of the pole on the bottom plate or extension by the floor, instead of using a ladder to set the tension of your pole at the ceiling plate. You will still need to be very careful about placing the ceiling plate directly on the stud/ceiling joists.
