Yesterday I blew threw my 13'6 150lb and tried to move up to my 14ft 150lb pole and it felt a little to big for me. Only poles I have now is 13'6-150,14ft-150,14ft 155. My handgrip on the 13'6 pole was about 12'6ish. Most of the time i can get on my 14ft 150 but I need to know what to do when i can't get on that pole? Do I need to get my hands on a 14ft 140-145lb? Thanks for your help anybody

if you are blowing through gripping at 12' 6", you might try raising your grip up a couple of inches on the 13' 6". When you blow through, are you overbending the pole AND landing in the back of the mats, or are you just landing in the back with a normal bend?

sounds like you're ready for the 14' 150. dont' raise your grip much (if any) when moving to the 14' pole. It should be a smooth transition. Are they the same brand?
