[QUOTE="Magnara, post: 252622, member: 462"] Ha - one thing we can count on...there will be spirited debate about any equipment question! We have done several variations: my husband used one Leki with a spring when he had one arm in a sling, next camino he used two, and votes for two is better than one. I changed mine two in preparation our third camino because I had had a broken arm and was worried that the wrist strap would bother it - I went for pacerpoles for that reason - they are great (and didn't put any stress on my broken arm site), but I don't think they were so much better than sprung standard poles. The most important thing of all is to use whatever you have for maximum effect - I saw lots of people just flapping them around, tapping at the ground, which wastes a lot of the benefit. There is a technique to giving yourself a boost. The pacerpole instructions give useful info on this. Maggie Ramsay (The Italian Camino- Amazon) [/QUOTE]
