Where to measure grip?

Unread postby souleman » Mon Oct 17, 2005 12:57 pm

I've started marking my poles with grip height measurments. I have been measuring from the bottom of the pole. One of the poles I got from my old high school is actually marked from the top of the box. Question is, where do you mark your poles. I'd also like to know where the poles should be marked for DJ's chart. Later..............Mike
