I have never used a hiking pole, how much does it help?

Personally I’m not a huge fan of trekking poles, but they do help with balance and keeping a rhythm. Also good for swatting things should the need arise. I’m more a fan of a good walking stick because they’re sturdier and more maneuverable(?) in terms of which hand or where you want them. Also very good for swatting things. It does take practice to get into the swing of using either, so it likely won’t feel great right off the bat, but it’s an option.
