Hi;
I bought a pair of Lekki Makalu Antishock trekking poles on Ebay. These are an older design, twist to unlock/lock. The antishock feature can be "turned off" by twisting the upper section of the pole CCW as you hold the pole upright. This happens automatically when you twist to unlock the section, but also does it on its own while trekking. While on a four day trek in Harriman Park NY, the antishock was disabled more times than not. I would always start out with it twisted so that antishock was active, but the pole would always tend to twist so that antishock was disabled.
I don't see a way to lock the poles into antishock mode. Does anyone else have this problem with this model?
Here's a photo of the pole:

Thanks for your help
