its a very complex and exact science.


seriously, go to a shop where you know someone and they will do it for free.

OR take a metal saw and do it yourself.

1. Boil Water in a medium to large pot

2. When it comes to a boil stick grips in the water to make glue soft about 2-3 min

3. Slide grips off when grips are heated

4. Cut poles down to length prefered length

         -make sure that you dont cut to short where pole is to skinny for grips.

5. Slide grips back onto poles

Boom!

If you want your pole cut, the only appropriate way to do so is to go to a Mohel.

This man speaks the truth. I tried to do it myself and ended up with 2 holes in my pole. Now every time I try to use it I make a mess.

A chainsaw would work nicely. You can also take short poles to a blacksmith and he will heat them red hot and stretch them for you.

literally it's not that hard at all

1. take off the grip (just pull really hard)
2. cut pole using a fucking hacksaw (i did it, so can you)
3. push grip back onto cut end of pole

4. profit??

I used a metal saw and it was fine or you can use a pipe cutter. Also I think 4frnt made a video on how to cut poles.

boil water and dip then in there first, loosening the grip easier. Profit?
