Finding a new pole?

Unread postby highhopes » Thu Apr 12, 2007 10:11 pm

My school is getting a new pole and I was wondering what brand is the softest around 13’ to 14’ and can someone explain flex numbers to me.

Flex numbers explained: http://www.polevaultpower.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=88

In the 13' and 14' lengths, all of the brands are very similar as far how stiff their poles are at a given length.
