For Sale: Polo mallet shafts (ski poles)

been working away at a french ski resort for the past 2 weeks and managed to get my hands on a job lot of ex rental ski poles. thinking that some of you guys might be interested in them to use as mallet shafts. Everyone knows that ski poles make the best shafts for polo mallets.

one of the poles i have is length adjustable this would prob be good as a spare at your local game for newcomers to use who dont poses a mallet yet.

ive got loads of them all adult size with plenty of length most are a bit battered but does it matter if its a polo mallet?

£5 each shipped

send me a pm if your interested. cheers.

You can get a new pair for about £15...

its hardly worth my while otherwise, cheers for putting me straight on price tho.

there all pretty good makes of ski pole tho eg scott, kerma etc if that makes any odds. hah.

but polo players really want is not a brand if not a good alu. we can buy nes alu7075 poles for 8euros plus postage each
yours are second hand, and we dont know of what alu are they made (in some poles is writting, in other not)

Can someone point me in the direction of a retailer for these? Bristol could do with a bulk order sometime soon.

What is the opinion of these poles? Thanks.

hey rich, alejandro (gponx) is the man to speak to, he markets and sells the 'perro del mallet' aluminium shafts. he did a bulk order for london, manchester and cambridge recently, and the approximate cost for 11 shafts is less than a tenner per pole delivered. obviously this cost goes down with more poles (shipping is the same cost to a point).

i think the fact people are buying more off him is a testament to the quality!

You da man! Thanx for the good word.

Yeah, Perro del Mal(let) are the bees knees. But don't worry, we are currently working on a London distro. In any case, PM me.

Sanyi, yeah, the LHBPA may start distributing these shafts soon, but it's unlikely we would start shipping them elsewhere, it's a lot of hassle, and by the time you add our markup, and another set of shipping costs, you are better talking to gponx directly. If of course you wanted to pick them up in London, or can arrange someone to bring them to Bristol for you then it's no problem. Anyway, it's not confirmed yet that we will do it.

Definitely interested in some ski poles but just signed to forum up and can't send you a PM yet.

Could you please contact me through forum or at geoff@trailnet.org.uk

Thanks,

Geoff.

Can you please tell me if these poles are still available?

Alejandro is pretty busy at the moment, but you should be able to contact him directly through his site:

I bulk bought some ski poles on ebay i have 6 poles available. £5 each
They're being dispatched now i believe so first come first serve really.

Collection can be SE1 or SE5 or Souths polo. I'll organise this properly after i get them.

They're all over 1m long but (1) will get the longest, then (2), then (3) and so on.
