i dont care!you wont beat an XTREME mk3 pole(25 ft) for strength,rigidity and a pure joy to use day in/day out.its very light but very strong too.not an easy thing to achieve. .
facelift poles are just not in the same league as gardiner poles for sure.
With respect, I have to admit I don't understand that kind of reasoning Dazmond.
It follows from what you say that if, or when, Gardiners bring out an Extreme Mark
4 that is stronger, lighter and more rigid than the mark 3, then you ''won't care'' and will still say you can't beat a mark 3.
Really?
