Re: Spirit vs. Pacer

maybe the pole was old and sat in the sun for awhile? usually mis calculating the weight isnt an issue. i am only 5 8 and 125lbs and im on a 14 155 ucs spirit.
spirit poles are usually a softer bend then most

Re: Purchasing new poles

If you are a normal Pole vaulter, you are in the range of 5 9 - 6 3. weighing 149lbs, blowing through a 160. To have a reasonable pole to move up to, id say buy a 13 155 or 13 160, the get a 13 6 155 if you do not already have those.
