Hey guys my name is David McKenzie i vault for Katy Taylor High in Katy, Texas and i need some pole help. I went to the AAU Jr. Olympics in Virgina for the 15- 16 year olds this past summer and i won with the hight of 15' but i felt as if my vault was restrected by my pole. I would blow throught it and it would not give me enough power of the top. Im about 5'8 142-146 and i was on a 14' 7 165 UCS and was wondering if anyone has any suggestions on what pole i should think about getting on.
Thanks for your help
David

it kind depends on where u are holding on it but most likely 5 pounds heavier would be the case

I was holding aabout 13' 9" and it was so slow off the top, and i was running from 7 strides.
