Are the white perro shafts different than the old silver ones? I have 2 silver ones and got a year use out of aeach, in fact it's not even dented, just bent up a bit and so tough I cant bend it back.
I bought 3 of the white ones which I rather regret.
The white one bent in the second game from nothing but mallet on mallet. I bent it back by hitting it on my handlebars, something I haven't been able to do since the days of £5 charity shop ski poles.
In the 4th game I hit my down tube performing a BB shot and the damned thing snapped like a bread stick. I know my old perros would never do such a thing. I snapped it again on my knee just to make sure It wasn't bad luck, fairly minimal effort and flexed maybe half an inch and folded.
