Favorite type of pole

Unread postby professor » Sun Jun 12, 2011 4:29 pm

my school i vault at has a large amount of usc spirits, pacer mystics for the girls, a pacer here and there, 1 essex, some old pacer 3s, some old catapoles, and one carbon mystic. i have vaulted on all of them except the little essex pole and my favorites are the usc spirits which is in my opinion a pretty popular pole. i also vault at a nearby college for a club team and they have a large number of pacers which i hate because one that i practiced on was somewhat slippery where there wasnt any tape.

just for fun whats your favorite type of pole and why? also do you prefer carbon or fiberglass?

again my faovrite is the usc spirit because its what ive always used and my coach always told me they were the best and bubka used them along with many other elite vaulters and as of right now i prefer to use fiberglass because they seem less dangerous if your plant or step is off
