Buying New Pole

Unread postby Jay » Mon May 03, 2010 6:33 pm

I finally convinced my coach to buy me a new pole. I am just curious on what you guys think i should get.

Height: 5'10
Weight: 160

I currently use a 12'4 170 but it bends to much and im not too sure its a 170 since its just written on and bends like my 150. I also use a 12' 150 and im getting a good amount of bend out of the both of them. My pr is 10' this season and looking to get atleast 10'6 by the end (5 or so meets left). I get well into the PLZ when holding at 12'4 so im thinking maybe a 13 foot 165 pole? we have a 13'6 175 but i havent been able to use it very well.


Thanks
