scott team issue do the trick for me. But really, your poles will eventually break and bend no matter how strong they claim to be. Just go to sportchek and pickup a 20 dollar pair. Or take em from the rental shop

Poles are the biggest gimmick in the industry. Just go to lost and found snag yourself a free pair, cut them down and chuck new grips on them.

get some panda poles! theyre super durable and have a 1 season warranty! they are a little bit more spendy but they are totally worth it. ive had so many hard falls/ crashes and theyre are basically like brand new. i actually work at panda poles so if you have any questions pm me

Every time you see a garage/rummage sale, jump on it. You can buy poles for $3, doesn't matter what size. To tall? Shitty color? Doesn't take a genius to use a saw and some spray paint.

Get a pair of old scott poles for cheap. They look like shit so nobody will steal them and they are crazy durable. But remember, never pay anymore than like 10$ on poles. Anymore would just be a waste.

For park skiing flexible poles are the best, they never broke and when it comes to falling on them they dont stay like an elbow after falling on them , good choice for a good and durable pole mine is 3 years old k2 extreme pole and its still in perfect conditions, skiiny poles and very flexy
