Does anyone know of collapsible (or take-apart) poles that do *not* have the anti-shock feature?

Good morning, Eric,
I’m with Shroomer, Yoshihiro, and probably a minority of other long-distance
hikers: I don’t like the trekking pole anti-shock feature. I say
“minority” because my impression is that’s the case. I speculate many
select anti-shock poles because they don’t really think about it, or don’t
have the experience to guide a choice. Besides, marketers and peddlers
strongly favor this lucrative up-sell.
Some of my reasoning can be seen at:
