Why ??? ? They suck! If you are a skier and ski hard these poles are not good at all. They will bend or break.

My bad. They still make the boundary poles. I must have missed them.
My point was that my Compactors don't have that issue. I get a pretty solid lock.

The lock is the same on both. This is not the problem. That is solid. The rest of the pole is poor
Right, but I don't have that problem either....
Mine are fine too, I put all my weight onto one pole (and I'm about 180 right now) and yes it bends slightly but that's it. I don't think they're that flimsy. Yes they flex a bit more than a rigid pole but they should be fine for most uses. I've only used mine for a few weekends, no breakage yet.

I was coming to a stop in line at the Cannonball quad and used the poles to stop and both bowed quite a bit.
Yeah that's been my experience.
