Yellow Poles?

Unread postby Capt Caveman » Fri Dec 09, 2011 3:31 pm

A friend of mine called me about 4 brand new Spirit poles last week. He said they looked yellow. I really didn't know what he was describing but after our meet last weekend I am curious about this.

All 4 poles were made in the past few months but they look like they have been in my shed for 20 years. They are not yellow like the color yellow but yellow like dirty, dingy, old.

He ordered them from MF athletics. Would that make a difference? He considered sending them back.

I have never seen a brand new pole look like this. Has anyone ever seen this before? He has not used them yet so any information is appreciated.
