    Dont waste your time chasing every last fps, it doesnt matter in the real world, it wont make a difference, all it will do is cause head aches and frustrations. And dont listen to silly old cunts

    Important to never let poles snap together when assembling, esp carbon poles. Also be careful with the alloy spigots, don't let them slide out of position, this causes point loading on the carbon pole sleeve and leads to explosive fracturing.
    Cheers
