hmm well if u weigh more than ur pole that could be a reason. the thing is ur prob too big, strong or fast for the pole ur on now.. either u hold lower, or u get a bigger pole.
i run, therefore im buff.

agree.. pole seems to small..

what is your grip? should be around 12'

you may be "pushing and sitting instead of planting and swinging"

if you know what i mean.....

Yeah they are a lot easier to bend, but not much of a recoil.
