Anatomy of a good Nordic Walking Pole

A good Nordic Walking pole is made from carbon composites which make it a lighter and stiffer pole, which offers good shock absorbing properties protecting your joints. This is particularly important for walking on hard surfaces like pavement and for all high intensity training.

Telescopic or fixed length?

Fixed length poles is the better option because they are typically lighter and they provide the best functionality through better swing weight and most security (won't collapse). Adjustable poles are an alternative where space is limited however you will lose some functionality. Adjustable poles are not recommended for people with an infirm grip or balance problems. There is always the risk that adjustable polse, if not tightened correctly, can collapse and ause you to fall.

Five elements that define a great Nordic Walking pole

Grip
The Pro Grip is ergonomically designed so the wrist is correctly angled and supports the movements of the hand. This will allow your hands to stay closer to the body for maximum efficiency and comfort.

Comfortable, adjustable and supportive wrist strap
Allows smooth transfer of power through the strap at release without causing any stress in the hands and forearms.

Durable and lightweight carbon composite shafts
Durable and lightweight made from a single piece of carbon composite.

Removable rubber Control Asphalt Paw (tip)
The paw effectively absorbs pole impact while walking on hard surfaces such as pavement and asphalt.

Angled carbide spike tip
For correct attack angle on grass, tracks and other natural surfaces.
