I got the Exage AX last year
I'll be getting another soon, not that it is worn out or anything , but just in case they are going to discontinue it
An excellent pole, light and comfortable to use
Only thing that they don'tlike are dogs, one went through it and number 5 and 7 broke
The price of replacements were £46 each, virtually the same as a top set
I'd recommend them to anyone, especailly for the price and the package they come with, as Steve says you'd have to spend far more to get a btter pole
