Quick question?

Does the pole stiffness chart refer to gripping at the top of the pole or at the same grip height?
http://www.antigravitypolevaultclub.com ... _chart.htm(For example, If I am moving up from a 13' 155 to a 14' 135 do I hold the 14' pole at 14' or 13'?
Thanks in advance!

Every 6" is equal to about 10 pounds of pole stiffness, holding at the same grip. It a rough estimate though, as different length poles will move differently.
For your example, going from a 13' 155 to a 14' 135, hold in the same place, maybe a couple fingers higher if you're moving the pole well.

That's a good chart but it doesn't take flex #'s into account. Each weight of a pole can either have a soft, medium or stiff flex assigned to it. A stiff flex 155 is pretty much the same pole as a soft flex 160 so if you're only using "pounds" to determine your pole series, you might have wasted some time and money.
