Precision spring-button joints allow the pole to separate into travel-friendly segments while maintaining 95% of the Custom's unmatched responsiveness.Key Features: Same ultra-lightweight carbon fiber construction as Custom Tool-free assembly with quick-release spring buttons Fits most 36" luggage Custom cut-to-length for your perfect fit Compact breakdown for travel and storage Includes Poi Mini pusher tip Perfect for: Performance riders who travel frequently or have limited storage spaceTechnical Notes All paddles feature ultra-lightweight carbon fiber and fiberglass construction Ergonomic EVA hand grips provide comfort during extended sessions Replaceable pusher tips are wear items designed for easy replacement Travel models maintain 95% of standard model performance US Patent No. 9,724,593 Engineered for Performance: The Precision Paddle JointThe paddle's design features an engineered joint that elevates performance and durability. We use a double push-button clip to provide a secure, rotation-free lock that eliminates unwanted play and clicking. This two-button system ensures a consistent feel and unmatched stability during every stroke.Our buttons are strategically sized at *6mm, a dimension carefully chosen to be less than one-third of the inner tube's diameter. This minimizes stress on the carbon fiber, preventing structural fatigue and allowing the paddle to flex naturally. The buttons themselves are hollow, a deliberate choice that allows them to deform slightly with the tube's cross-sectional change ("breathing") as you load it with potential energy. This ensures a consistent, predictable spring-like response.Finally, the button holes are precisely oriented perpendicular to the handle's direction. This places them in the path of least bending stress, dramatically increasing the shaft's strength and resilience where it's needed most. This thoughtful engineering allows you to harness the paddle's full potential, delivering a powerful, responsive, and efficient ride.
