Ok - I have been doing a lot of reading on seldcion of proper poles. BUT this is complicated - at least for me

Anyways - I have tried to construct a sort of simple flow chart - a crude guide in selecting the proper pole...

could you please give me some feedback on this - am I on the wrong track here?



TIA

I would go with something more along these lines...

Large bend with deep penetration... Stiffer pole needed

Small bend with deep penetration... Raise grip

Large bend and landing shallow... Lower grip

Small bend and landing shallow... Softer pole needed


That simple understanding is enough for any naive' high school coach at least run a decently safe program.
