It's a good question. Hybrid is the name that Exel have come up with for the pole, but a better name would be composite as it is a composite mix of Glass Fibre  and Carbon Fibre.

When I think of Hybrid I think of something that is a mix of different types of items. For instance a part modular part telescopic pole would fit the title Hybrid better.

Hybrid means anything of mixed origin,so what they mean by a "hybrid pole" is a mix of carbon and fibreglass

if they just called them mongrel poles it would be a bit easier.

if that comes about, you know who started it  ;)
