Thanks for the feedback. The X-Joint design has been revised and providing it is done up correctly and checked regularly (if in a permanent installation) they should not twist anymore. If you have any problems please contact us.

As to high ceilings X-Pole have recently released our competition range of poles, designed for studios and competition use (4m), to the general market for both home and studio use. Available in both 40mm and 45mm sizes, these are the dual lined poles for extra rigidity, they have been used in the majority of International competitions for the last 2 years – the latest event being the IPSF World Compo in London in July 2012.

Coming under X-Poles Build-a-Pole range – as you basically build the pole individually from a range of parts - these poles are designed to go up ot 4.25m with the correct fittings. Please give us a call for more information if you are interested. There will be a specific Competition pole leaflet available shortly.

Thanks again for your input – it is our users feedback and ideas that make X-Pole what it is today.
