I have an AC pole on both machines... they are great... however i think i may change over the winter to an X-Metal... they just look badazz!!!!

I would say waterdawg..........but I got a carbon skin that turned completly white in the sun and now looks like crap. Construction is solid. The RRP is nice but I don't like how it is completly straight then makes the bend at the turn plate.
has anyone ever used a rick roy or waterdawg pole i have not seen very many on skis but i like the look of the rick roy pole.
thanks for the info

XMETAL!!
IMO it looks soooo much cleaner then ALL the rest! The new XMETAL poles are now a little lighter too. Just be aware that the XMW pole doesn't use any spring and requires you to run the stiffy bolts.

RRP is the strongest, but most expensive. I have a UMI and am very happy with it.

The waterdawg pole has about the same profile as a AC pole
i have a -4 x-metal pole and am most likely getting a wammer hull on the 7th and was just wanting to see if i should stick with that or get something else.

I would just ride with the XMW pole. If you just want something different I would go RRP. The waterdawg pole is nice but it is a matter of availablity
i think ill do that for now and just order the RRP in a month or 2.

U sure, have you used one.
My concerns w/ X-metal is how many I have seen w/ the paint flaking off at top and bottom (casted areas) do to water sitting in the porous cast and rusting forcing the powder coat / paint off. I also would prefer to run my pole tight WITH a spring as well and it is difficult to do this w/ X-Metal pole.
it is a SEXY pole though.
The A/c is very strong and functional, but FUGLY. This is what I use now and am also looking for other options such as RRP or WDK.
The above is my opinion only.

not if you don't use the x-metal bracket... you can use any other bracket with the x-metal pole. but if you run the x-metal bracket, then your using bolts.
