but i am 5'7 and i bent the pole alot i reached 10 using an 11'6 pole i was holding at the top and had 7 lefts my school hasnt had a decent vaulter since the 80's so we dont have many poles so if that information helps thanks


so were did you jump 10 on the 12 150 or 11'6 ?lb..... and you got to start putting weight, that is important

but 10' on any 11'6 pole is pretty decient, but if i were you i would go with a 13 155 or 160 and that should get you anywhere from 11'6 to 13' depending on how good your technique is.

Update your profile so we know which city you're in. Someone on here can probably give you a list of open meets in your area this summer ... beach vaults, river vaults, all-comer meets.
