They do send a shock through the hands, wrists and elbows. Even after rollerskiing for several weeks, I sometimes get blisters on my hands. I think a lot of this has to do with the initial shock of pole plant. Can't tell from the pic of the shock reducing tips if they have big or skimpy piece of carbide in them.

You've got me rallied to start roller skiing (I'm in CT) - I have some V2s on the way - a question: do you have those exel 'shock absorbing tips' on your poles, or do you think regular carbide tips are just fine (I was wondering if the elbows/shoulders feel much 'shock'Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5082954078864845206.post-28407699840262115362009-10-18T13:12:28.520-04:002009-10-18T13:12:28.520-04:00SNOW SNOW SNOW SKI SKI SKISNOW SNOW SNOW SKI SKI SKILuke Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17215899775567698921noreply@blogger.com
