Replying to Poles help
So I started skiing this year and right from the start after I learned to carve I went into park because the whole reason I started skiing was to freeski but when I started I never used poles and now I got some which I cut short but it just feels sort of weird having them like I can do the majority of grabs Ik with them but I can't do blunts which is annoying because they are my favorite and spinning with them is obviously no different but I think it looks pretty cool when you have them but at the same time I also like the no pole thing because it makes grabs a little easier because I can really grip my ski nicely and don't have the pole handle in the way and I think my style is decent without them I just think sometimes riding with poles looks pretty cool. Ik it's mainly personal preference as to what you like but I feel almost every free pro freeski er uses poles with the exception of a few like Phil casabon who is my favorite skier, or has used them for some of their skiing career and I think Phils style is cool. I'm just wondering if I should use poles for awhile as it might help my style if I ever decide to not use them in the future. I just really can't decide what to do.
