Birmingham Bike Polo (Wednesday nights / Sundays - info in the thread)

Ski poles are made out of 4 grade ally..yes i was sad and looked it up, if this stuff is too heavy or whatever no worries, can get varying thicknesses etc no problem.

I think the material varies - I try to look out for 7075 ones, although the one I broke on Sunday was made from that. It also had what can only be referred to as a 'seam' running down the middle of the inside, which may have made it weaker.

I'll bring the head for you to look at on Sunday - I'm not going tonight.
