I'm on too much codeine to ache.
Over half my work is high level work so I invested in carbon poles at that height to save wear and tear on my body and to do the work quicker.
Lower work is hybrid poles.
Fibre glass poles....no chance....let the youngsters buy the bargain poles and save their money for more important things like beer and Fri/Sat nights as they don't worry so much about their health as they think they are invincible whilst they have no ailments.
Look after your health, if you don't it will catch you up sooner, rather than later in life.
