An easy way to move to stiffer poles!

When that time comes about to move to a stiffer pole it is tough task alone because now you have to jump on something stiffer and harder to plant.

The tendency is to let up a bit on the stiffer pole when in reality you need to give it your all!
With the Power x pole all you need to do is work out 1 day holding 1 fist above the GREEN RING on the pole you are blowing through, and the next day move to a 5 lb stiffer pole.

The two poles will feel the same and you will now be right on the stiffer pole immediately!
