“Umbrellas always loosen up in the sand when the wind blows. Now, this ANCHORX system appears to keep the pole from moving much. It hasn't been too windy yet, but it appears to really hold much better. It is a bit more cumbersome to store the Anchor Part - and sand is more difficult to remove, but so far it works great! Simply getting the pole and umbrella into the storage bag is more difficult - but worth it!”
