Seeking now for 12 months after the optimal pads. These pads are model 9 and get my needs very close! Good grip (ie rubber mixture for top asphalt) and elasticity. Unfortunately stung after about 8km, the pole tips by, and thus I get the sprint back the bounce effect of the sticks as with all pads where the tip comes through. Too bad. In terms of durability points due to the softer material, a slightly elevated level of wear, but this is acceptable because I so strongly claiming. Last point, high speed and long sticks I lose with the pad slightly to grip in the end (it rolls so to speak, from). But this is a standard problem and nothing, about what Nordic walkers need to worry.
I'm going to try this - small washer or so into the shaft before I use the stick. This should prevent the floor pierced themselves. Does it work, the pads well suited.
