NOTE: Why is the Anti-Shock system more "firm" now than in the previous models I owned several years ago?

The Dynamic Suspension System (DSS) will still absorb 40% of the impact, protecting muscles, joints, and ligaments, just as previous antishock technology did before. But today's DSS is a complete re-engineering of how to reduce the shock and vibration from pole plants on hard rock.

The mechanism is positioned at the Flextip in order to be as close to the point of impact as possible. This location helps to immediately neutralize the pole-plant-shock and vibration instead of letting it travel farther up the shaft and well before it reaches the grip. Consequently, you may not feel an exaggerated movement of the antishock as before. It’s much more subtle now. Dynamic Suspension System DSS utilizes a specific external elastomer that works in concert with an internal stainless steel piston to soften the impact of each pole plant on hard ground and rocky terrain.
