i dont know about the phenix pole  ;) but i have used the clx 22 pole and still do for over 2 years

its been a very good bit of kit  8)  i do however use the slx 25 which is in another league.

but for value for money clx is a best buy.

i would say at that short length both poles will proform the same i would however on this occasion go for the pheonix purly due to the clamps

Is there a comparison video showing the regidity of the two poles? That would help me decide.

It will be interesting to see the results of the poll, as a lot more people will have a CLX due to how long they have been around, etc. (especially on this particular forum  ;D)

I doubt anyone will vote for a Phoenix if they haven't got/used/seen one and only have a CLX as a reference point. But so far I surprised how many votes the a Phoenix has got seeing as it is the newest pole on the market and only been around a few months.

Post by: Michael Peterson on March 29, 2013, 08:39:39 pm
what about an x-line pole they look class as well
Title: Re: convince me
Post by: dazmond on March 29, 2013, 08:52:55 pm
ive never tried a phoenix pole so i cant comment but i had a 22 ft clx.they are ok but id never use a hybrid pole again as full carbon fibre poles are easier and lighter to use.

i would  stretch to a 22ft SLX if i were you they are fantastic for domestic work.

your pole is a very important tool if your poling day in/day out and the rigidity of a full carbon fibre pole just allows you to scrub better and overall are much better poles.

CLX-22 is the best pole I've ever had for many reasons. Don't know anything about the other one.

you should buy the phoenix one and give us a review  ;)

Title: Re: convince me
Post by: R.C Property on March 29, 2013, 11:17:40 pm
i would say a lot beter, very easy to use and adjust, less ware on poles, no pinching when fingers get in the way, clamps dont catch on things,

Totally agree. Ive got the phoenix hybrid 18 for lower work fitted with an aquadapter and flip fast for lower stuff and my Mrs uses it. She used a clx for a year and says the phoenix is better for the clamps. Ive just bought the phoenix 22 fitted with and aquadapter and flip fast 6" and I love it. I can extend quicker and retract. try one you won't be disappointed!

For me i think gardiners offers the complete package at the moment brushes goosenecks ect

I don't like gardiners clamps and im sure the resi neck swivel wears pole pole out faster due to the clamp sliping when trying to swivel the brush head

But the facelift pole does look very good they just need to bring out their own goose neck range  ;)

I voted for a clx but if facelift done their own carbon fibre goose neck range i would have voted for the phoenix

I seem to be the only one at the moment who has both the clx and the  facelift pole if the facelift last as long as my clx the facelift will win hands down the clamps are why better time will tell

How often does that top section get used?

Post by: R.C Property on April 02, 2013, 01:27:30 pm
How often does that top section get used?

if you are are talking to me about the 26ul, then the top section gets uses at least 2-3 times a day,
and on one day it gets used all day due to 3 block of flats i do total of about 80 flats.

get on great with it. its better than you think, if feels really thin and looks like it would snap, but it dose take a hammering at times!
