I have just got the ecolite 18ft.
It has come with a fibre glass base section (yellow) and a carbon middle section (black)...
now, I thought the top section was supposed to be carbon as well...?
I have the 30ft pole and the carbon top sections remove any whippiness as well as being very light.
They did ring me prior to delivery and say this would be the configuation to try and make the top more rigid...I said that glass fibre top sections are whippy and I was happy with the previous configuraion of carbon top section.
Got the new pole yesterday and it is
WHIPPY

Do you think they are just out of carbon stock as this set up does not make sense and was also the same cost ...I would have thought glass fibre was cheaper than carbon...
