2009 Swix SGC -CT 1 – Composite Ski Poles scores 92 out of 100 points
By: Team Billy Flanagan
Perfect swing weight. The design reduced my arm swing and made my skiing more relaxed. Awesome at absorbing shock.
The grip is a bummer. Ask the dealer to switch it out for the grip with the yello thing on the top. Off trail and steeps, DON’T “plant” you pole or that little race basket will plunge right to the bottom. You can get powder baskets, but as a 50 year old “Wanna-Be, I don’t care tolook like a “Dude-Bro.” But hey, it ain’t really designed for this type of terrain anyway.
