Place to try out poles?
I've been reading a few threads on here and I'm kind of interested in trying out a few different brands of poles, however I don't have the cash to go out and buy one of each and I also don't know anyone who has the poles I want to tryout. So is there a place that I could go that would let me test out some different poles?

Where do you live? If there is a club near you, they might have some different poles you can try. Or borrowing from another school. Otherwise, no, none of the companies let you try before you buy.

I haven't been able to find any clubs where I live (about 45 minutes North of Gainesville FL) and most of the schools around here that vault are the same as mine, under-budgeted, so all they have are the same beginner level poles we do.
Does anyone know of any clubs around my area? I know there's one in Jacksonville but that's 2 hours away.

There's not much of anything north of Gainesville
If you really want to try out poles it's worth a trip to Jacksonville.
