The Royal Shaft ski poles are fit for the royalty of the mountain. Although the peons can have them too. Royal shaft poles are made of composite fibers and resins to make them extremely durable. They also feature rubberized grips to get great sensitivity and control of the poles. The highlight of the Royal Shaft poles is in the shaft. These poles have dozens of different styles, colors, and artwork to spice up your outfit. The graphics are sublimated (dyed) into the fibers of the shaft, so they won't chip off like painted graphics.
A new feature this year for The Royal Shaft is the "Easy In" strap. It is a patent pending innovation that eliminates the fuss of floppy straps always getting in the way. Royal Shaft describes the process in four easy steps: 1. Adjust once 2. Always open n' ready 3. Easy in! 4. YES!
Another great feature of the Royal Shaft poles is the extra powder basket standard on all models. If you are cruising Deer Valley, keep the original small disc baskets on there. But when it is dumping at Snowbird, screw on the big powder discs to handle the deep stuff better.
Use the sizing chart to determine which size you should be using. Some people go with a longer pole for skiing a lot of powder and go with a shorter pole for skiing moguls and more aggressive terrain.
The Royal Shaft poles are a great way to make boring ski poles stand out and help you get noticed, even if you skiing doesn't.
