That pole is awsome when cut down to about 23-24ft trust me,i have a 24ft facelift carbon and love it but this hybrid cut down surpasses it.It`s much the same length extended as the facelift but the real bonus with it when this is done is that it`s only about 4.5ft closed and can be used easily on downstairs window`s,the pole feels so more balanced than any other pole going.

I use mine every day, and I love it, working with it horizontaly is a little on the heavy side unless you use some support ie a roof edg.,
As for signs of wear, this is only due to supporting it on flat roofs etc, but I did do a topic, were I made a pole protector when useing it on this type of work.
All in all its an excellent pole.

When cut down you can lose the thick base section,some might not agree in doing this but that pole with 6" off each section turns it from a good pole into an exeptional one,a true up and downstairs pole in one.When this is done you`ll never know it has been in appearance,you can re mark the bottoms of the sections so you know not to over extend.
