I have a clx22 great pole for the money I wouldn't mind a slx to be fair... Is there a massive performance upgrade difference between the clx to slx?

Post by: Lee GLS on September 30, 2011, 09:19:07 pm: I got the 22 because it's got a shorter collapsed length, the extra few feet would be handy, but i also have a slx 35, I just get that out, but I use the 22 for pretty much everything, the shorter length make it that little bit easier in confined spaces.

Post by: woody1 on September 30, 2011, 09:23:01 pm: i have a 21 grafter its a good pole but i will be buying a slx next as i want all carbon for the rigidness and lightness but i must say the grafter is a lot better than the extel poles very rigis for a glass carbon pole, its has 25% carbon

Totally agree makes a big difference closed on lower windows.. Happy days if you have the 35ft when needed thou.. I bet the super lite extreme is a dream to work with :). No more aches n pains on the full days
