I saw a pole on amazon that ive never seen before

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/de ... goods&no=*

Does any one know anything about this pole?

I'm guessing that is the new Catapoles that Bruce was talking about.

catapole is a brand that has been around for many years. if yu see and old looking yellow poles those are one of the first catapoles made, there were also black or dark green i think. they are good trainging poles, not really for competition.

Sorry, but the yellow, black, or even green Cata-Poles (if they are still in good condition) are EXCELLENT competition poles. Many championships, medals, and records have been achieved with those poles. They may be heavy to carry, but they function great.

Does anyone know who makes them? Or how they are different from an essx or spirit?

ESSX MAKES THEM I THINK!

Right Bruce?

CATAPOLE MADE BY XLOGIC SPORTS Inc. owned Soley by Bruce Caldwell and Beto Sanchez our Engineer. (NOT A PUBLIC COMPANY) :star:

Same people who made ESSX before just a new company name
The differrence;
CATAPOLE has less modulas -3 very little. No "S" glass except in 14'6" poles
Where ESSX has "S" Glass all the way down to some 13' poles and some large 12'4" poles and Carbon from 15' on up. 16' on up are totally engineering custom poles.
Quadra Helical and Quadra Mirror Helical designs don' t ask trade secret
So ESSX is lighter!!! with more modulas and
Catapole works the same but is a cheaper, smaller handle, a little more forgiving to penatrate.
Catapole available from Athletic Connection local dealers and/or PORTaPIT direct 1-800-648-3347

Cheap YES
but we have improved the catapoles with our technology. We use "E" glass on the construction and they are in 10 lbs increments now so not as fined tuned as other poles. A great value that will perform.
Yes we make them XLOGIC just do not use the "S" glass we do on our ESSX poles.

New design by Xlogic

ok, i still don't quite get it. they are a good poles for your money, but not the best right. now essex poles are better , however, they are made from the same company? on the x-logic site i only saw essex poles on sale. i've never heard of this brand before though, but they look pretty good.

well it sounds like a really good pole. hopefully my school will but it.
