Title: left handed pole
Post by: barry mallett on December 22, 2011, 07:47:45 pm
any.one know where i can get a left handed pole from. i set a new lad on 2 weeks ago and hes doing really well . but it turns out hes left handed, so i think he might speed up even more if i get him a left handed pole .but i dont want to spend a lot in case it dosent work out . so if anyones got an old one lying around it would be appreciated . cheers barry

what i did was turn an old pole round and put the brush on the other end, takes a bit of getting used to but after about a year you get used to it ;D ;D ;D

If you think the poles are expensive, wait till you see the price of the brushes!

Its no good getting the poles & brushes until you have a source of left handed water.  ::)

I know of a source in Australia,.. you have to get it from below the equator & make sure its purified where the Coriolis effect (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coriolis_effect) is correct to produce left handed water.

This is one of the reasons there are so few WFP'ers down under,.. it only works for the left handed ones down there.  ;)

Dont use the right hand pole and neither the left hand pole I go for the middle pole as its like asking would you use the top water water or the right water or even the left hand water and not forgetting the bottom water so why not just use the middle water.. ;D ;D ;D

I have a couple of left handed triggers you can have for nought - I ordered them by mistake and our lads are all right handed.

Apparently if you use a left-handed pole it feels as if someone else is 'Cleaning the windows'  ;D
