n w h i said last week i d picked up a glyder and thought it was heavy and i would nt like to use one all day,then i read other posts saying it was light, i thought i d picked up the wrong pole when i read that, im glad someone else thought the same. cheers mick

I thought the 25ft glyder was a comparable weight to my sl-x.

what's this about a waiting list for sl-x's?  last I heard alex wasn't doing waiting lists. first come, first served only?

I haven't used the SLX, but I can understand the ware issues with the thin carbon walls.
I wonder if anyones thought of aluminium sections at the bottom of each length?
The clamps would locate on these and not the carbon walls. the next to the bottom section would still get a hammering though as it used the most for height adjustment.

SL-X is best for lightness and rigidity but wears down too quick. Facelift is slightly heavier (not much), has better, smarter clamps, and wears many times better, (giving better value for money) than a SL-X, but is reflected in the proportionately higher price. Overall verdict; they are about equal.

In an ideal world a facelift pole shortened from 6ft to 5ft with the price lowered to that of the SL-X, made slightly thinner in wall diameter to reduce the weight would be the ideal pole. Pity Facelift don't make a 10inch version of their original brush head as it would be a good brush if it wasn't so large and heavy. The facelift gooseneck is ideal as it can be used either as a short or long gooseneck depending on which way it is fitted to the top of the pole and brush.

they do a 11 inch brush supplied by wcw .

We are in the process of totally revamping the range of waterfed poles for 09/10. You wil notice that we have started with the glass fibre which are now 5ft sections and have a new lower price.
Then we have introduced the new Fusion Pole which is available in late may that also has 5ft sections.
We have also made a new clamp so the largest poles no longer have 8ft sections. I'm sure you guys will agree that 6ft sections are better for the larger poles.
We will be looking at the rest of range in coming months.
