if they do, it's a very minuscule difference. Winding up makes you spin better. Popping makes you spin better. Looking over your shoulder makes you spin better. Lighter poles won't solve problems with spinning.

hard to say. My poles were moderately light...lighter than monst, and i can spin okay. i have been skiing without them for about 3 weeksn now, and i can spin maybe a little better. i would say that the lighter, the better the spin.

unless your poles weigh 15 pounds each, or you're a primordial dwarf, no.
