well lets use a bit of common sense. what are poles for?? mostly pushing...so should they affect how you ski? not unless they weigh 100 pounds. so the answer is no. shitty poles are btter anyways

well i guess thats a good piont because if you think the good poles are really light and tend to snap easyer but thanks

No offence line skis, but if you would spend less time asking dumb questions and more time on the hill you would not have to worry about the type of poles you had

well the only way they can effect your skiing is how long they are. Smaller poles look steezier to me

look around you can find decent poles for cheap. i'd rather spend 20 bucks on some decent goode poles with a warrenty then have to use the rentals with giant blue rubber grips. if you live near a play it again sports you can get a decent pair for around 8 bucks.
