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.

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.
