Pole problem - Talk Angling fishing chat and tackle advice

I've broken another section on my Garbolino 796, first it was the No4 this time the wind got it on Sunday and broke the No6. I have replaced the No4 previously at a acost of about £120.00, and am now fed up with the thing. Has anybodey else heard of this pole having problems breaking. I have used many poles before and this has been the only one I seem to break constantly.

I think i'll change, but to what, fishing both commercials and canals??

man like the bro said i broke my top4, and also 2 top twos. man, i was gutted and all i did was pull the carp away from the reeds and BANG it went shooting across the lake with the top2. got it back, but snapped where it joins in on the section. any tips on getting it out would be a great help
(think garbolino has big problems)
and when i e/mailed darron cox to tell him the problem im having he didnt even get back to me (says it all really).

Thanks for some of the input, I think the walls are too thin, you only have to apply a slight pressure and the pole starts to squash and form an oval shape. With the Dawia and Shimano poles I have had before this did'nt happen.
Looks like i've got to buy a new No6 section as so I can sell it and move on. I'll probaly try another Dawia.
