You take the grip off then you cut the top then put the grip back on. There are a couple of threads on how to do this with regular poles too, i.e. boiling water and what not.
yeh mang....i just tok a sharpy...marked where the bottom of the grips went...i reccomend using a pipe cutter...cuts clean and smooth....ie...wont cave in the tube and will cut it without leaving burs behind, making it hard to put the grip back on.
hey does anyone know how easily armada poles break? i've never broken a pair of poles, but i bend them all the time. is armada a good brand for sturdy poles or should i go for some scott poles?
