My standards were buried on every jump. Do you think I need to order a 15' 185?

congratulations! 15 is a pretty big PR and i know your probably excited. I think you inverted more than usual. but hey 15ft and not inverting all the way doesnt sound to bad to me.
as for the pole, i think its better to have a bigger pole ready anyways cuz you never know when your going to need it, so if your able to get it i say go for it

Order that pole and more, because when you make this change you will go up more poles than that!


You have amazing runway speed for the heights you are jumping, and you leave the ground pretty well. But when you start to swing, you are pulling on the pole before you are inverted. Keep your hands above your head and pushing up, and swing your hips to your hands before you start to pull. Make that fix and you go 15'6-16' very very soon! Congrats!

thanks for the replies! Can you give me some drills or pointers to improve my bottom arm on the swing? We are ordering a 16.0 flex and a 15.2 flex which is about a 185 and a stiff 190
