Darkhorse-425 | 60" Carbon Composite Defensive Shaft | 3D Raised Checkered Grip
type: Product
description: The Darkhorse-425 is a 425-gram carbon composite defensive shaft built for close defenders who break poles. At 425 grams over 60 inches, the Darkhorse-425 is the heavier of Primo's two checkered-grip D-poles. That extra mass is the whole point — more material where the checks land means a shaft that takes a season of contact and comes out the other side. Who this shaft is for Buy this one if you're a close defender playing a physical game, you check hard, and you've snapped a pole before and don't want to do it again. Buy the Darkhorse-375 instead if you're an LSM who runs the field and wants the lighter pole in your hands on the clear.

Combined with the heavier 425-gram build, it's why this pole carries a full-year warranty. 3D raised checkered grip — no tape required Textured control combined with a soft tack finish gives you maximum grip, zero glove burn, and no need for tape. Graphic-free in both colors — no oversized logos, no added weight for looks. Carbon composite vs alloy for a defensive pole Alloy poles dent. Carbon composite doesn't — it flexes and returns, and when it does eventually fail it tends to go progressively rather than all at once. Against a scandium or scandium-titanium pole at the same weight you give up a little stiffness on the poke check and get back a shaft that survives a full season of contact. If you want the metal feel, look at the Sc-Ti 7X. If you want a pole that holds up to punishment, this is the one. Darkhorse-425 or Darkhorse-375? Same build, same Impact Shield™ construction, same grip, same colorways. The difference is weight — and …
