ABSTRACT:
A lightweight, flexible ski pole which is virtually indestructible comprises a filament-reinforced, resin-matrix composite shaft having a diameter of about 0.05 in or less and a tensile strength of about 140,000 or higher. The shaft may be severely bent without damage or deformation. A surface coating of acrylic paint is applied by dip coating. A metal tip is adhesively applied, as are hand grip and basket. The shaft may be solid or hollow, straight or tapered near the lower end. If hollow and tapered, the tapered end is reinforced with a short reinforcing rod.
