Are you having trouble reading the numbers on the pole? Or are you trying to flex the pole yourself?

Yes, we have a lot of Spirit poles, and the flex number for that size pole is between about 19.0-20.0. (At least that's what the spirit poles at my school say they are)

Bob, I have a thing that Bubba sent me explaining pole flex numbers. It's on my home computer. I'll either post it or send it to you tonight. Mike
P.S. your poles should get to you this week some time.
