Unread postby Bruce Caldwell » Mon Apr 21, 2003 5:17 pm

THE BEST POLE IN THE WORLD!!!! :star:
The best pole is the one that fits you!
The pole that enhances your ability, allows you to excel and jump higher.
It makes no difference what brand, it makes no difference what color.

It could be the right length and stiffness TELEPHONE POLE and it would be the best vaulting pole in the World.

So if you want the Worlds best vaulting pole you need to be real, you need to follow the instructions of the experts of the 5 pole manufacturers in the World: :heart:

UCS/Spirit UCS/Spirit has the most poles in the field Lane and Steve make great poles.

Pacer/Gill Pacer/Gill has the second most poles in the field. Dave, Fred, Dan make great poles.

Skypole/Gill Skypole/Gill has the third most poles in the field.

Altius Poles Altius Paul Richards has made great poles since he was with the original Skypole MFG.

Nordic Poles Nordics are made by Sture Larson and his group in Sweden they make fine poles.

ESSX EssxSport Corp. I assure you that we make great poles too Myself and Earl also our engineers Rigoberto, and John.

The above companies are arranged in order of the amount of poles in the field and by manufacturers only not private labeled poles.

If you want the best pole in the World you have to listen to the manufacturers,
Stop cutting poles, stop getting poles under your weight or too long for your ability, forget about brands, colors, labels, testing, surveys, and pole reviews. Stop trying to jack the hand up, take advantage of the resources to get a pole that fits you correctly!
To insure that you have a chance to do you’re best;
Order from someone who is qualified to help you select the best pole to fit your needs. OR
Go to our website and dial in a personal pole for your needs with our pole calculator. :idea:

Oh yes it is on my website; you do not have to reveal who you are or provide an email address to get access, it works for all brand poles and, it is FREE. :rose:
OUR XLOGIC system was built to work with vaulters not poles.
We provide you the tools to discover the best pole in the World all you have to do is go to the site to use it!!!
This is not hype; this is research,
facts/engineering/physical data

Essx, I was messing around with your pole calculator and the link to convert lbs to kg for current power weight links to the top of the page and not a converter. Besides that the calculator is pretty interesting.
ahh San Diego: women, sun , beaches, pole vault, what else do you need.

Question for ya. I was using your calculator, but I didn't quite understand the results. I entered in a hand grip of 14'9" (177") with a PR of 15'6"(186"). Then where it lists length.... my results showed a best choice pole of 480cm(15.744in). Does this mean that the next pole in the series that would best fit me is 15.744" longer then the one I'm on now? This is confusing....If I'm confused I'm sure there are others also. Could you explain this..

thanks

We do not know what weight size you inputted, but if you are on poles above your weight then moving to a longer pole will be the next progression for you assuming your 14'9" grip is on a 15'-15'3" pole now.

IF holding 14'9" with a PR of 15'6" which is very good by the way. :yes: The calculator is saying you can move to a longer size pole. A 15.744 inch pole is a 15'9" pole with a grip area of 14'6" to 15'6" In this case the calculator has computed that you are ready to move up in length.
If you feel this is too much of a jump you can stay on a 15'+ pole first. Just add 2 power numbers to the results you got and select a 15'+ pole.
The example below was made using weight of 160 as I did not know what your weight is?


RESULTS Length Power Weight

Suggested Poles 480cm 15.744" 74 kilo 162.8 lbs.
Best Choice 480cm 15.744" 75 kilo 165.0 lbs.
1 fist grip up 480cm 15.744" 76 kilo 167.2 lbs.
For a longer pole 480cm 15.744" 75 kilo 165.0 lbs.

Keep in mind/an accomplaished vaulter at your level may use something stiffer. As in the instructions it states to add 1-2 power numbers if you are jumping a foot over your hand hold.

Notice the calculator suggest for a longer pole a stiffer one instead in this case!

Enjoy and have fun with the free calculator.

Thanks for the clarification. Makes perfect sense now. I will be purchasing 2-3 poles very soon and this will obviously have an immediate impact. I weigh around 190lbs... I would like to give the Essx pole a try, but I've had pretty good success with Spirit poles and I'm kinda skeptical to switch. But anyway, a whole other topic there. Thanks again!!!

Hey Bruce,
In your last couple of posts don't you mean a 480cm pole is a 15.744 foot pole not 15.744 in. If this is wrong now I am confused.

You are correct we are talking about 15.744 feet not inches

It is confusing as 15.744 is decimal for 15’9â€Â

OK. Then I think some changes to the calculator would help in understanding this. On the calculator it shows this as inches... as in 15.744 inches not feet. I would have caught on to this immediately. So just a note, that the units on the results table aren't listed properly.

Yes you are correct I will talk to Dean Starkey my webmaster to get it changed.

I am so glad we are finally having people look at the chart :D
