Looks good.
I've only got Ionic poles and am happy with them but when I need a new one I will be investing in a Gardiners purely from the love shown on CIU.
I have a question though...
The SMax is 50odd ft then extensions are added Upto 80odd feet.
Am I right in thinking that the extensions are exactly the same as each other?
If so, why do they 'only' go to 80odd ft? If you can just keep adding sections would 100ft (or higher?!) not be possible?
If not possible, why not?
If possible, why isn't it advertised as being able to reach such lofty heights?
Far as I can see David St Ives cleans highest at 88(?) feet. Anyone clean higher?

Yes you can they will be available as a retro DIY fitting kit and will fit all of our previous telescopic poles.

We will be selling a DIY smart-clamp kit at a subsidised cost for anyone who has bought a pole within the last 12 months.

We have tried to improve in every way with these clamps, but we also wanted to go another step forward and address the issue of uneven pole wear which affects most poles used within the WFP industry.

The new CLX27 should be released in a small batch by the end of April and then the full CLX range by the middle of May.

The new Super-Max50 is actually listed as being able to be extended up to 61ft - which equates to two extensions. The first extension fits on as a fully telescopic extension and the second one as a modular push-fit section (same as the Xtreme extensions). I have decided to only recommend these up to 61ft as over this height the weight and rigidity are not as good as the Xtreme range and the pole would become too difficult to handle (for me anyway!).

The Xtreme47 can be used with up to 6 HS extensions taking it to about 80ft. Technically you could go higher by adding more sections, but as anyone who has worked at these heights knows the pole becomes extremely difficult to handle - not due to weight, but just the ability to accurately control and keep in control a pole that is this long.

Thanks Alex.
So, your extreme47 is your best pole?
With the potential, though not recommended, to reach c.100ft with about 10 extensions?

I would rate the Xtreme47 as our best high level pole. I would not recommend that it be used at 100ft although you could technically fit enough sections to reach this high.

If you have bought extensions in the last 12 months then we would sell a subsidised upgrade kit for the extension.

I had a prolonged conversation with Alex on the phone today. He is saying that these new clamps will revitalise just about most worn poles. He will be releasing a video of how the new clamps work and how to replace old clamps. Recently purchased pole owners will get a new set of replacement clamps at a discounted rate.

I will enquire about the clamps. My CLX is just about finished without new clamps on first three sections. I reckon I will lose 4-6inches per section though if I refurb it. I was going to replace it with a Phoenix pole (probably still will and keep CLX as a refurbed spare).
