I have these in the FLZ model (adjustable height at the handle) and have now broken 2 of them. I broke one last year and got a replacement through warranty. Took it on the Tahoe Rim Trail this year and they broke again. Remember that they're very light and fragile, not made to handle pressure/stress perpendicular to the pole itself.
I beat up my Black Diamond Alpine Carbon Corks and they handle everything I throw at them.
After replacement, I now have 2 good Distance Carbon poles, but not sure I want to take them out anymore. Can't trust them to not break on me.
