i know everyone says klytes are good buy for poles
but i was wondering if it was because they last a long time
or because they last a long time for the price you pay? (as in they don't last as long)

yea they are great poles. better than the kpro's mine has no dents, no anything after a year, but i dont play defence a lot but i lend it to teamates sometimes.
edit: they dont dent easy.

My pole has been through 2 seasons. Just scratchs, no dents, no bends. Warrior has made 1 good shaft.
Don't get a Kpro, they have thinner sidewalls, my friends has a hefty ammount of scratchs and dents.

cause i need a pole now
and ive heard great things about this shaft so i was going to try to talk my parents into it
but my back-up options are the magnum flipgrip and the ignite optra c555(not 7080 sc)

Uhh...no
If you miss treat them they do (Ie, leaning on them, putting your gear on them, leaving them in extremly heated areas.)

so does anyone have a say out of which one of those three will last longer?

The Mag Flippy is offly cheap. I can't vouge for the durability, ask someone that has one.
Out of the K-series, Klyte.

id say get a warrior platinum, they seem to hold up well as dpoles, are lightish, and are cheap.

Some say they last, some say the crack, and bend, it depends on how you play. I plan on getting one for my next shafts. The 06-07 versions seemed to crack, the 08' versions were "beefed up".

i want a stronger metal than the platinum, and can anyone vouch for the f22, magnum, or ignite optra?

I have used a Klyte for 2 years now. It has only go 2 dings in it, but its pretty bent sown near the butt end. Ive had two now break on my body and arm. They are nice, but depends on how hard you go at the game.
can anyone vouch for the f22, magnum, or ignite optra?
Magnum was my 2nd shaft. Had it for 5 years. Its very nice. Seriously worth it.

I have a Klyte and I find it very, very durable. Although it scratches easily, they don't dent easily. I decided to spend a little extra on the STX Scandium (which I like alot) but if you are looking for a pole < $100 the Klyte is by far the best.
