werent you the one just talking about a good jump for a 9th grader? hopefully you're not that ninth grader, or hopefully this pole you're looking for isnt for you...you shouldnt' be holding on a 15' 6" or 16" as a freshman pole vaulter, especially if you have little or no vault experience...just my thoughts

I was a 9th grade pole vaulter last year and i was jumped 14'6" and i was just wondering if that was good.

14'6" is a good jump for a freshman, but if your using a 16' foot pole it isn't. you should be getting at least the height of the pole, or your grip height to actually be pole vaulting. what state are you vaulting in?

I am not useing a 16 foot pole, i am looking for a 16' 145-155 or a 15'6" 144-155. i was on a 14' 6" when i jumped 14'6".

Your going to kill yourself if you go straight to a 16' pole, have you planted anything over 14'6"? I would try 15' first if i were you. Progrestion is the best way to go not giant leaps.
