MAP pole sections

[Cobba]

Evening all, Ive just got a new MAP 701 2G its my first MAP pole so I noticed something that I dont know is right. The last 3 sections 13M, 14.5M and 16M the back end of the section has a slight step about a foot away from the end and continues to the very end of the section is it meant to be there? I was thinking maybe it was strengthened for my elbow to rest there? I dont know really thats why Im asking I guess.

Yes think you are right

You are right and a lot of poles have this but its more obvious on some than others.
