[Philmont]: Trekking poles

I'm thinking of getting trekking poles and have no experience with
them. My main question is "anti -shock" vs "non anti-shock" ? I've
heard pros and cons for both. Anti shock has more weight and parts that
can malfunction, non-anti shock is harder on your arms and wrists. Any
experienced trekking pole users out there that can shed some light ?
