Carbon ski poles

— carbon ski poles are highly valued for their very lightweight and stiffness: carbon material hardly bends, so the force from the hands is better transferred into the push, and the pole wobbles and vibrates less. This material is especially useful in speed and skating skiing, training, and competitions, where precision and energy-saving on long distances are important. The downside of the material is that under strong impact or pinching, it may crack instead of bending, and it is more expensive than aluminum. Therefore, carbon material is more often chosen by advanced and athletic skiers who prioritize maximum efficiency.
