{"product_id":"swix-blackline-stingray-carbon-pole-25009231","title":"Swix Blackline Stingray Carbon Pole","description":"\u003cp\u003eSkiers who spend their days on steep, demanding terrain will find a lot to like in the Swix Blackline Stingray Carbon Pole, a premium carbon alpine pole built for experts. It pairs a stiff, impact-resistant shaft with an ergonomic grip and a compact race-style basket. On the hill, that means a crisp, predictable plant every turn and a pole that swings forward naturally instead of fighting your wrist.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy we like it:\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe swing. Swix tuned this shaft for what it calls pendulum properties, and you feel it immediately: the pole tips forward into the next plant with almost no effort, which keeps your hands quiet and your rhythm tight through steep, choppy turns.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFeatures and Functions:\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eStart with the grip, since that's where you'll notice the Stingray first. It runs Swix's DD4 handle, shaped so your hand settles in naturally whether you're wearing gloves or mittens, and it carries Swix's patented ADD Tab system. Below that sits a carbon shaft engineered for high stiffness and impact strength, so it doesn't flex or chatter when you plant hard on a steep pitch and it handles the knocks that come with aggressive skiing. Swix also balanced the shaft for swing, so it moves forward into the next plant smoothly rather than feeling tip-heavy. An alpine racing basket finishes things off at the tip, keeping it small, clean, and quick to release on firm snow and groomers. As part of the Blackline collection, it gets Swix's premium components and finish throughout.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBottom Line:\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Stingray is for expert skiers who want a stiff, light, precise pole on steep terrain rather than an afterthought accessory. If you plant with purpose and notice when a pole swings awkwardly, it's an easy upgrade to justify.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Swix","offers":[{"title":"44\" \/ 110cm","offer_id":52310879633704,"sku":"25009231|110CM","price":106.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"46\" \/ 115cm","offer_id":52310879666472,"sku":"25009231|115CM","price":106.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"48\" \/ 120cm","offer_id":52310879699240,"sku":"25009231|120CM","price":106.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"50\" \/ 125cm","offer_id":52310879732008,"sku":"25009231|125CM","price":106.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"52\" \/ 130cm","offer_id":52310879764776,"sku":"25009231|130CM","price":106.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0670\/5135\/6456\/files\/swix-blackline-stingray-carbon-pole-25009231-1-25009231.jpg?v=1791228516","url":"https:\/\/checkout.skiessentials.com\/products\/swix-blackline-stingray-carbon-pole-25009231","provider":"SkiEssentials","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
