Hey i'm having trouble finding the right pole. i will try and describe the problems as best as i can any help would be greatly appreciated!!

i am about 5' 10'' 148

i was on the end of a 13' 6'' 155 and it didn't feel like it was finishing at the top of the vault

i moved down to grip at about 13'' and it felt a little better but still not great

so i moved to the end of a 13'' 170 and it had a lot better finish at the top and now i just need to know what the next longer pole i should would be if you have any ideas?

I'll also try and get a few videos if that would help

Thanks Ryan

Once you peak (therefore set your standards) around 70-80cm, you should not grip up. Grip down until you're doing this. 18" is WAY too close to the box.
