Shaft is great, grips are subpar By Sconnie Skier from Madison, WI on 01/29/2009 Pros: Good Precision, Good Stiffness, Lightweight Describe Yourself: Competitive Athlete Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: Shaft is relatively stiff and strong, but the grips wear out fairly quickly and the top of one grip actually cracked off when I was climbing a pretty small hill. Higher-grade grips would make these poles a 5/5 for their price and design. Images shared by: Sconnie SkierHandle cracked after only 1 month of skiing. Tags: Picture of Product
Great Poles, Bad Hand Straps By PJT from Milwaukee on 01/11/2009 Pros: Ergonomic Grip, Good Stiffness, Lightweight Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: These poles have decent stiffness, good cork grips, and are very lightweight. For the money, it might be hard to find a better carbon pole. The handstraps are near worthless if your hands are big, though. The strap is so short that I had difficulty fastening them over thin, size large XC gloves. Impossible to fasten over normal winter gloves. I guess you could try to sew more velcro onto the strap. The straps are removable, so I just swapped them out with some nice ones from my older poles.
By xcskiingsince1959 from Northfield MN on 01/05/2009 Pros: Durable, Ergonomic Grip, Good Precision, Good Stiffness, Lightweight Describe Yourself: Competitive Athlete Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Nice stiffness, and swing weight is very light. Main problem is somewhat cheap wrist strap- so short it is hard to tighten over thick gloves on those polar MN days.
