New Pole
I currently have a 13 foot 175 Skypole and I am blowing through with it and I'm looking for a new pole to get and I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions. I am 6'3 and weigh 165 pounds if that helps

Get a 13' 185. With your hieght, you will probably blow through that too. I would normally wait before raising your grip, but you might go with a 13'6 185 after that, and once you jump 13'6" holding no higher than 13'-13'3" you should raise your grip. If you raise your grip too fast you end up not learning how swing correctly to get push off the top.
The greater the challenge, the more glorious the triumph
