I was waiting for you to reply groundhog as just read your posts on the sl-x.

I'm glad that I didn't dissapoint you then!!

I use a 21ft x-tel as my everyday pole and it's great.

I always try to use a bit of each section rather than just the top 2, as the pole will be much more rigid.

also I would advise that you don't use any section fully extended over coservatory roofs etc as the ends of the sections can start to crack under excess stress.

I wouldn't cut it down cos those extra 3 ft are really useful at times

thanx for that dave some valid tips 

[jaykie]

i never use all sections full length its not flimsy when you only put half of each section up

What poles would you recommend besides the slx and sl2 as ive got 27 & 30foot hybrid xtels unger green and am thinking of getting rid of them and getting something different,

The pole is the most important thing next to 000 on the meter,it`s an extension of you arms.You will only get what you pay for with poles there are no short cuts or quick fixes,it`s not the same with all products but with poles the price reflects the quality.Carbon quality also varies from company to company,in the van i would have 1xSl2 1xSLX or 1x24ft carbon facelift,i have all these poles but now only use the first 2 on a regular basis.

Spot on, agree 100%.
