Hi,
I used to use folding canes, but when NFB came out with there telescopic
fiberglass and graphite telescopic canes, I switched to them and really
enjoy them. The telescopic canes are more rigid and transmit vibrations
better and are much lighter than a folding cane.
You can't use a telescopic cane as a support cane, but I really like them
because they slip easily in to my pocket and are so light. I see no
advantage in the graphite cane over the fiberglass cane, so I buy the
fiberglass canes because of their lower cost.
