The choice of the model team is not random, incorporates the colors of blue avalanche deli sticks in the 70's, but mostly are characterized by the construction of aluminum and carbon. In particular, almost 3/4 of the stick are made of carbon, concentrated in the lower part. The upper part is instead of aluminum to withstand the impacts of the poles, it is in fact designed for the slalom speciale.Sembra a trifle, but after skiing with these sticks, you will find it hard to go back. The lightness of the carbon makes him look to ski with a stick cut, about eight inches long! He feels it just the weight of the aluminum, making skiing much more comfortable and allowing you to hold the position of the arms in a corretta.L 'grip handle is contoured and comfortable, however, that we have to bring back some of our testers would sagomatur preferred a softer, with only the first finger of the hand, but it is really petty. Also convenient system regoazione of the wrist strap with Velcro and fine adjustment. Turning to Young model we must say that in the first place has a beautiful color, is made of normal aluminum and is equipped with two different final casters, wide or aerodinamiche.La peculiarity lies in the handle, made of expanded foam and circular, so , to allow more comfortable evolutions in the air, being able, literally, to turn the racquets without impedimenti.La Lady line, in particular, we tested the model Lace, with 16 pipe circumference instead has the distinction, along with a dedicated graphics and sober, to have the possibility to adjust the length, thanks to two telescopic fittings. Both models have the handle in the foam, which makes the comfortable grip to the touch, making it possible to vary the intensity, however, it must be said that in the long run, this grip wider, can tire the muscles of the arm, having to over-tighten the grip. Even here, however, is a matter of habit, after the first day with the stick feel like having skied always!
