$50 poles = broke in half in five days

$100 poles = still rocking three seasons later

$0 poles = flexible and wont stay bent, going into the fourth season

seriously don't understand why an aluminum pole with some plastic and rubber and paint is over $30

I like to do this but I'm always looking for old cross country poles and just cut them down. Bamboo poles is where it's at!!!!

Yo that $50 poles lastin two months thing is horseypoop....I've used nothin but line poles since they started makin em and have had zero issues.....I got last years darts and have fallen on them a few times....no bends....in fact after a whole season I have a few minor paint chips and I do alot of grabs and such that typically chip paint.....most broken poles I see are from spoiled little kids who get mad when they don't land a 180 off a 50/50 across a six ft box and they start hittin the box with their pole in anger.....then they scream crappy pole when it breaks.
