Are the gardiner xtreme poles really that good?

Always wanted a an extreme 25 so bought one last year it’s a great pole but not worth 400 quid more than the six which is brilliant too and more than adequate, not knocking the extreme but if I’d tried one before buying definitely wouldn’t have bothered.Btw every pole I have is from sir alex

What is it you don’t like about them, seem like the same pole but lighter to me just abit more fragile after about 11 months.

i take it price is the biggest put off for you?

if so I used to think the same before I went xtreme and my body thanked me more for it plus I started working longer in the day so that extra cost paid for itself and more, I just think now that whatever the cost it can’t be as bad as the cost of taking time off work If I wear my bones and joints out!

Yes it is a nice pole and I do use it all the time ( unfortunately snapped a foot off it recently) but if I’d have tried one beforehand I wouldn’t have bought because the six 25 is brilliant and more robust, but obviously not as light.
