Hello,
Recently I have been thinking about pushing my step back from a 6 lefts approach to something higher so I can start working with longer poles and generate more power in my jump. However, I am unsure about what pole I need to go to, and what a proportional change in step length would be. Just as a side note I am completely comfortable with free take-offs, and can utilize them to jump on poles above my weight.
Here's some information about me:
Weight:132
Height:6'
Current Pole: UCS 14' 150, flex 22
Standards are usually at 24-26 but it depends on the weather, that's where they are in normal conditions
6 Step: 78'
Takeoff:11'6''
Thanks a bunch
Next Pole to Jump on?

Re: Next Pole to Jump on?
Good morning…..
With a 14 foot spirit you can hold 13-6… which translates to a possible 14 foot vault with a Six Step "MID" 45 feet (chart www.oneapproachrun.com)
I would go to a 14-7 150 flex?....... with the potential to grip "two grips" higher…
Sets your run up on the track with a 45 and 46 mid… run four lefts back from the "MID" and that will give you a 14 step/7 left approach… run it to get comfortable…
Then move it to the runway… you should be capable of using a 45-6/46/46-6 Mid with the new pole and a 13-6 to 13-10 to 14-0 grip..
If you want 16 steps/8 left run run back 5 lefts from the 3 left/6 step "MID"
