Impact is Rundle's world cup pole. The shafts are constructed with the stiffest carbon available to maximize power transfer and minimize swing weight. The quick change handle/strap system offers convenience during training but can be disabled for maximum security by installing an optional set screw. Rundle's lightweight quick change basket system, comfortable straps, and real cork handles make Impact poles the perfect choice for top racers.
Pole kits include handles that come uninstalled, allowing the shafts to be trimmed and the handles to be installed at home. This allows a skier to build the poles to their exact length preference.
DETAILS
Ski pole length can vary a little based on personal preference and skill/performance level. Better skiers will generally use slightly longer poles for better performance, whereas newer skiers will benefit from a shorter pole which is easier to use. For a quick way to find the size you need you can use one of the following calculations based on your height in centimeters. For skate ski poles you want them to be around 89% of your height, and classic poles around 83%. So a skate skier who is 180cm would use this calculation: 180 x 0.89 = 160.2. The closest stock length would be 160 cm. If you're between sizes, go for the shorter option for ease of use, or the longer option for better performance.
You can also use the table below to get a rough idea of the pole length you need. These pole lengths are rounded to the nearest 5cm increment:
| Height in Ft and In | Height in CM | Skate Pole | Classic Pole |
| 5' 0" | 152 | 135 cm | 125 cm |
| 5' 3" | 160 | 140 cm | 130 cm |
| 5' 6" | 167 | 150 cm | 140 cm |
| 5' 9" | 175 | 155 cm | 145 cm |
| 6' 0" | 183 | 165 cm | 155 cm |
| 6' 3" | 190 | 170 cm | 160 cm |
| 6' 6" | 198 | 175 cm | 165 cm |
