New Pole Tips

Moving from a 13'6" 155lb to a 14' 150lb......any tips or thoughts on how I should start out? Transfere my old grip about about 13' or start out moving back to 13'6" on the 14'er.

any thoughts?

Any thoughts on someone having their hips and body up over a crossbar yet on the way down they skim it with their thighs? Standards at 23, yet we move them in to 21.5 to 22 and he hits with his hip on the way up?
