Sloppy end-caps? A wrap or 2/layer of electrical tape to build it up thicker. when you cut-down the tube, thru the tape barrier to prevent splitting, just leave it on the stick! ( but wipe off the carbon dust, fragments -
The old post where a spar snapped into 3 pieces was likely in a discussion on the Rev Green Trimmed Rods. -

Didn’t notice any ”lateral slack” in the connectors. But perhaps I’m a kite pilot brute? 🦍 Nope, I have never broken a vertical tube including the 2PT ones. I have heard that the verticals should be sensitive, so of course I switch to other downspars if it is windy and light downspars are no longer needed. Use them 50% of the time in the midvent though. I remeber having seen a picture in an old KL post somewhere where a downspar had snapped in three pieces. At the time I ordered them I hadn’t seen any recommendations – I just wanted a light downspar. After receiving the 2PTs I removed a few cm to get the same tube length as the other tubes. I chose to remove the narrow side because it ”looked reasonable”.

So Kite #85 is going to be a theme kite, Dual Perspective Mesh. It will start out in Black and White (Leading Edge Black with White Screen) quickly move to color, (Black and Rainbow) Some are "over the rainbow" and in the middle will be a Yellow Brick Pattern, almost like a road. Kite name will be NIKA. The Cool side has been sewn and will be the pattern for the Warm side. "Not In Kansas Anymore"
