Need help with buying a pole for a vaulter of mine

Unread postby kr22 » Thu Mar 19, 2015 10:56 am

I need help buying a pole for a vaulter of mine. I have a junior athlete that weights 180lbs. He is a very strong/muscular kid. He was starting nose guard this year in football and was all-state the last two years in wrestling. Last year, I had a 175lb. 13ft rocket pole for him. He went to state in pole vault by clearing 12ft, 9in. He's not a very technical vaulter, more muscular than anything. Because of his weight, I need to get him a new pole. What are your recommendations for brand/length? I'm thinking about getting him a 185lb pole b/c we are on a budget and that should last the next two years for him. Thanks for the help everyone.
