Alpina Exel World Cup Racing Poles - About
Alpina Exel World Cup Racing Poles - About: Hi. This is our new Exel World Cup, top of the line, racing pole. It's one of the lightest poles in the world. It has some excellent features in the fact that the swing weight on the pole, meaning the way that it feels in the handle, and when you swing it from side to side, is very light. It has a cork grip. Nice added comfort. It has a particular strap system, that all the high-performance poles have. There is a left and a right, and they're usually easy marked. Right here, it says left on it. You adjust that so it feels very comfortable for you, in your hand. You have the ability, also, here at the top, to shorten or lengthen the strap, as you see fit, depending on the size of your hand. And the the other aspect is you want to make sure that the poles are stiff enough, depending on whether you're classic or skating skiing, is that you want the energy to travel down the shaft, and propel yourself forward. Generally speaking, a stiffer pole is going to be used more in the racing segment, and on the opposite end, a touring pole is going to end up being a little bit softer, and also a little bit less expensive. This is utilizing the nano technology, top of the line, carbon, so the longitudinal flex, lateral flex to the pole is the best it can possibly be.
