13' 1 1/2" pole Versus a 14'6" Pole

What do you think is the main difference between a 13' and a 14'6" pole? What are some of the things you have to adjust to get on the foot and a half longer pole?
PM me if you know of any vaults around the Midwest!

run really really fast. get really strong. adn grow like 5 inches heh.. but ya u gotta run faster and make sure ur form and technique is really good. and u have to be blowing through ur 13' pole. thats a huge diff. i think.
is the weight diff too?
i run, therefore im buff.

you wont be able to go from a 13 to a 14 6, no matter if your blowin through on the 13, just go to a stiffer 13 , or possibly 13 6, i dont know what your situation but i would not under any circumstances reccomend going to a 14 6 pole or even a 14 foot pole for that matter if you are only jumping 11' (i beleive you mentioned that in another post)
