Whats the stiffest. CLX 18 or SLX 18.. 
and is the weight difference (50g) worth the price difference?

[Michael Peterson]

the slx at that high imo is only slighty better

[Crystal-clear]

the slx is much better i cant work with anything els now.

UPTO this last week i always used a clx 18 then decided to split down my slx35 into a slx22 and  and surprisingly i find this pole better mainly for the rigidity so go for the slx

You wont notice much difference in rigidity between the clx18 and slx18.
So the only thing that would make me pay extra for a slx18 is if I thought it
would last longer.

my clx 18 now sits in the shed been there 2 years,

Sorry, but from experience I have to disagree, I had a CLX, I now have SLX and Extreme poles, you get what you pay for.

Nobody is going to disagree when you say the slx or extreme poles are better than the clx but when working at 18 ft. or less you don't need them.
I have a slx25 and if I extend it to 18 ft. I honestly don't notice much difference in the rigidity compared to the 18 ft. clx.

Its starting to look like the Clx is starting to look like the option.
Im starting up and its half the price.
I have an old heavy fibreglass 30 footer that behaves like a whip ariel on a clansman radio.
Between the two I should manage to do most jobs until I can afford to compete with Dazmond and have an extreme for every occasion… lol

i wouldn't hesitate in buying another clx18 they are good value for money

Just placed my order for the Clx18 with Lord Alex..

Slx for me, I've had my slx 18 for about 2yrs now, use it on 95% of my work.

That's not a great comparison tho, if you compared the 18' SLX with the 18' CLX then you would feel the difference. Totally different feel to a 25'

[windiewasher]

clx is great with slight more whip its quicker and easier to rinse with.

Just placed my order for the Clx18 with Lord Alex..
 

And you haven't got it yet?
Shocking  .

[Jim Waugh(Albright & Shiny)]

It came today and Im in love with it already.. Cant wait till I can afford a full set of Extremes.. 

[Michael Peterson]

go for the slx next a 22 or a 25 for your higher work, you will love this pole as well, i have an slx and clx and next im going to try the exteeme, the clx 18 is a very good pole for most domestics

[ascjim]

22ft is great for domestic work and it gives you that little more reach for over conny roofs ect
