I have old, but very good (and then very expensive) Exel carbon poles. Since these are no longer manufactured, my replacement asphalt pads were worn I searched in vain for shops replacement. Only here at Amazon, I was lucky and by reference "Fits well on Exel poles" I ordered the same 5 pair. Fastest delivery, good packaging, and in fact the appropriate pads. Now already a month in use, little wear and extremely good grip. I can only recommend these pads for Exel poles warmly and would this immediately ordered again. Manfred P.
