The straps are mounted to the pole grip with a cam that rotates around that fixed pin. when you pull up sharply on the strap, the cam rotates off the pin and releases. there is no screw fastening the strap to the grip like there was in the previous generation (those straps didn’t release). to put the strap back on the grip, put the black plastic cam back in place, and push on the lowest part of the plastic. the first few times it helps to place it against a hard surface when pushing.Specifications:- Shaft: 7075 aluminum- Weight: 9.3 oz / 263 g (single pole of 125 cm)- Grip: bca scraper grip with releasable strap- Strap: adjustable woven- Basket: bca multi-function- Tip: steel
