I have recently bought some line tac poles and they are too big for my style of riding.
I know how to cut down poles by heating up the adhesive for the grip and pulling it off but the tacs are different.
They have a sort of foamy grip and i dont wanna mess them up by ripping them off.

Heres an example of what the grips like: Click for larger image

If anyone has cut these down any help would be appreciated.

Line makes those poles in a super duper short size... why don't you just return those ones and buy a shorter pair and not fuck them up?

You will be fine pulling the handles off. A friend of mine did it and worked great although it seems they may break. If it has trouble coming off you can just use a flathead screwdriver and help it off. The. Just glue it back on with some gorilla four glue or something

When I did mine, I just put on a new grip after because the foam kind of shrunk and stretched from me pulling it.  I work at a mini golf place and got a couple old grips from the clubs.  They seem to be working fine so far.

I took some of my line poles to my local ski shop and they cut them down for free, it's worth a shot
