Skypole E-Z Plant

[RobertGrantz]

Hi there, I'm getting my own pole in a couple weeks. I am currently jumping on a 150lb 12' Skypole (I weigh 155) and I am getting about 9' 6". I am bending this pole fairly well, but on Gill Athletics it says that the E-Z Plant poles bend easier, and I'm not sure what to get. So my question is, should I get a regular 13 foot Skypole, or a 13 foot Skypole E-Z Plant?
Thank you very much

skypole ez plant is probably the best beginner pole ever! i can use one and bend it and it is a 160 and i weigh 140 so if you have trouble turning over other poles and bending i would recommend this pole

getting your own pole as in YOU are buying it, or is the school? I would try to hold off buying your own untill you become more advanced, because if you buy it now there's a good chance that you'll outgrow it in a matter of months.

Personally, I'd get a regular Skypole because it will train you to get a bigger plant early on. Yeah, the EZ plants bend easier, but they don't return that energy well either. The regular poles will give you a little more off the top, but then again, its only a 13 footer...

I am buying the pole myself so I can jump over the summer. How much of a difference does the extra bend/slow return make? I've only used a regular skypole, so I'm not sure what the E-Z Plant is like.
