Carbon Fiber Pole Spear
The project involved the concept and design of a carbon fiber roller pole spear, incorporating a roller system to enhance shooting performance. The client specified several key requirements for the design, including two 1.5m carbon rods with a 17mm diameter and a 3mm outer carbon wall, joined by a stainless steel connector. The spear was to feature a roller head with ceramic or stainless steel bearings, along with a 300mm stainless steel injector rod fitted with a slip tip. Additionally, the setup included 14mm progressive speargun rubber, with a nylon hand strap attached at the other end for improved handling. The final design resulted in an approximate total length of 3.7 meters, ensuring both durability and precision in performance.
