Do a Pro-Curve search Propole. There have been a number of discussions on this topic in the past.
This is the link to the site - you will have to search around for the working video.
I can say though the 'Curve is a great piece of kit and if you go for it get 2 of each of the required handles.

So after previous discussion Ian did get one then!
It would be interesting to hear his views on it.

Yep, am the proud owner of a procurve pole ;D
They are very good, not quite as all seeing all doing as I had hoped, but very good.
I have jobs I have where I'm better off using my Unger pole + Swivlelock squeegee handle, I have a good technique with that method.
Because I do quite a lot of Trad pole work, I found it fairly easy to adapt to the technique needed for the Procurve.
I also think that the Procurve is better used with an 18" squeegee too.
I'm going to have a pop at doing a couple of short clips using my digital camera and seeing if I can post them using Photobucket or Youtube.
Not that I'm particularly brilliant or fast! I'm no turbo Terry Burrows, but i thought it might be helpful to show the two slightly different techniques for the two different types of poles, and the time taken to do a large pane of glass.

Ian - I'm still using my old unger poles with the feed up the outside - I like to be able to swap the brush head from the main pole to my home made short pole.
But if you can advise on a better way any video clips or advice would be a great help.
