What size pole

[Bombshellbell]

What size pole should I be jumping on it's my first season and we don't have a coach for pole vault. I weigh 125-130lbs and I'm 5'9 or 5'10. We are limited on poles bc we just got it for this season.
We have altius 10'1" , 10'8 and either 11 or 12 140lbs
Rocket 13'1.5" 145lbs
Skypole 13'6 , 14' 140

Also if its not listed what size should I be using if they are wrong

If your smallest pole is rated at or above your weight, start there - more important is to move your grip past vertical with sound technique: searching the forum for sand drills will be a good start

according to secondary school rules for competition, you will be expected to vault on a pole at or above your weight, so you are fortunate to have shorter poles that are rated at 140 - even if they do not bend much for you at first, straight pole technique and drills are very important...

with a little time, effort and determination, you will be moving up poles and flexing poles shortly -

Being a male pole vaulter I would just start with the 13' 145, start straight poling, slowly move the grip up, and once you are back to 4-5 lefts just practicing planting as you move the grip up. When the grip to gets about 11.6-12.0 the pole will bend if you are running fast and planting right.

My coach was working with a small decathlete who is about your size and he just put him on a 13' 140-150 and upped his grip with a straight plant until he was gripping around 12'6. Making sure he just long jumped with his hands high, then kept moving bungee higher and higher and swinging leg up and over bungee.
