Incorporating the new cutting-edge, patent-pending Control Shock Technology, the Trail Shock's progressive, four-stage shock absorbs light strikes and heavy hits without pogo-rebounding or bottoming out. Crafted with a traditional round shape, the Trail Shock is ninja-in-the-night quiet and, thanks to its dual FlickLocks, as secure and solid as Fort Knox. All-day comfort is maximized with its dual-density grip, 360-padded strap and foam extension on the shaft for when the going gets steep. The Trail Shock comes equipped with a Long Flex Tip and low-profile trekking basket.

Comments about Black Diamond Black Diamond Trail Shock Compact Poles (pair):
This is my first set of TPs. I find that they dramatically reduce the amount of fatigue in my hands while also reducing the impact of the trail on my legs. Particlularly helpful in up/down grades that are steep. The only improvement would be a material that was absorbant of moisture on the handles as my hands sweat while hiking.
