Just like pro golfers feel about the ideal swing weight for the poles, skiers need to be concerned about the swing weight of their poles. Swing weight refers to your poles’ resistance to being swung when in use. It determines how good a pole feels when you swing it and the ideal weight refers to the amount of energy you actually need to swing the poles without sacrificing your performance regardless of the snow condition and the slopes.
It not only relates to the pole’s weight but also promotes proper weight distribution thereby improving your skiing techniques.
