Hi,
which company do you all use for your poles,
just looking around , as .. with v.a.t and delivery it pays to shop around.
cheapest for a 27ft extel is 109 plus vat plus delivery.
anyone found any better deals ?
Thanks.
-
And where is that?
-
i had the 24ft one,heavy whippy and long closed length,i wouldnt pay a fiver for one,terrible poles!
-
go for the xtel hybrid mate the glass fibre at that length is heavy and very whippy......
-
I know its not what your asking, but I'd go for the cl-x 27
Its £50 more, but will save your health.
I was having massive shoulder pains (was using hydras)... Changed over to cl-x and the were gone in a couple of days. I now have a bucket load of dihydracodine sitting in my first aid bag. Quite funny I got prescribed them really.

the weight of a 27 clx is 1800g
the weight of a 28 xtel is 2850g
if a 1000g makes any difference to u then get the clx, but it didnt bother me i got mine from wintecs, but pay cash

1000g isn't a massive amount of weight. However when its combined with the leverage of a pole the physical exertion required to move it is quite substantial. To put that into a real perspective i have a 30 foot fibre glass facelift which weighs about 2900g and i dread getting the thing out and no way clean anything lower than i need to with it. A CLX weighing 1800g i can use all day.
Anyway, i thought a 27" Extel was heavier, weighing in around 3200g ?

Yeah it only says "approx weight", as they all do really. Have you used a 27 CLX though , for comparison?
-
no, gardiners didnt have any in when need a new pole, and already had a xtel and was happy with that

Yeah, Jeff needs to get his timing sorted out. I ordered and got my CLX's (three of them) and then a week or so later he brings out his telescopic !! It looks a briliant 20 foot pole.

-
A full carbon 21ft pole for £75 you can't moan at that you couldn't buy a battered secondhand one for that
-
WCW are doing a bare pole if you don't want the rest of the stuff that you usually get with a new pole.
-
yes gardiners are the ones at 109 plus , plus.
thanks for your replies ,
