Hi Lee
I like the story about the the stuff in our poles, so lets hope Gardiners and Face lift give us a genuine Carbon Fiber poles.
The implication in your comment is that Gardiner Pole Systems do not perhaps manufacture poles which are genuine carbon fibre! That is quite a statement to make as you are saying that we may be selling a product under false pretenses and committing fraud - please correct me if I read you wrong
Whilst Perry Tait did provide a lot of educational information about the various types of carbon available it was all non-specific with no exact poles mentioned and he even held back from actually saying what composition his poles are. He did not say what modulus carbon his 'high-modulus' poles are made of. He also did not mention which of the hybrid sandwiches he uses on his poles. As a firm we have always considered providing the full 'carbon experience' to be of primary importance and have provided clear details as to the composition of our tube sections. We are also the only manufacturer (currently) to give the exact modulus material of our High-Modulus carbon fibre poles.
It was an interesting magazine issue though and quite informative throughout - one of the best issues so far I thought.
