What 15' pole to try?

Unread postby Vaulter1080 » Thu Jun 03, 2004 10:45 pm

Hey all...
I've been jumping on a 14' 160 and 165 (skypole) during the end of the season and am soon looking to go up poles, but as my school only has 2 15 footers, a 155 Pacer III and a ucs 170, I am looking to buy a 15' for my own. I weigh around 145 - 150, and on a good day I blow through on the 160 and have my standards buried on the 165. I'm finally starting to get some godo work on the top of the pole, and my run and plant are coming together. I've been having some real good attempts at 15'6" at a 13' grip on these 14' poles and am looking to move my grip up in these coming weeks, and possibly onto a 15'. Any suggestions on what brand/weight I shuld move up onto for a 15'? Would a 15' 150 or 155 skypole sound like an ideal choice?

have you tried the 155? perhaps something in between the 55 and 70 that you have. unless the 55 is too big but that doesnt sount like too bad a transition
