The oval design of certain poles offers several advantages that enhance both their durability and usability.
Unlike traditional round poles that depend on clamps applying pressure to carbon fiber to prevent rotation, which can create weak points over time, oval-shaped poles eliminate this need. This design reduces the force required from clamps to secure the pole sections, thereby minimizing the risk of damaging the carbon fiber.
Additionally, the unique shape allows for a more comfortable grip, reducing the strain on hands and offering an ergonomic benefit.
Furthermore, the oval contour contributes to increased rigidity, ensuring a sturdier and more stable tool during use. This combination of factors makes oval-shaped poles a compelling choice for those seeking efficiency, comfort, and longevity in their equipment.

Typically, a 25ft carbon fibre waterfed pole that retains its rigidity when extended, these poles are perfect for working within tight spaces or where storage is limited.
