Ok I need help deciding on what size pole to buy if I can get one on here or new.

I'm currently a freshman I jumped 9' 6 before I got sick so that's what I finished out with. I plan on buying a pole so I can vault during the summer and off season at a coaches house.

I'm 5' 10.5 " I weigh between 125-130 no heavier
My 100m time is 13.45

I plan on buying a pole between 135-145lbs 12-14 ft in length

What pole have you used so far? Were you bending it?

I was using a altius 10'8 140lbs in the beginning of the season but by the end I was on a 11'5 altius 140 lbs and I was bending both poles I didn't get a full bend but I got a good amount

If youve only used 11' poles a 14' is WAY too big! I would get a pole closer to what you have been using. Good luck with your summer vaulting!

I'd probably get a 13'140, it will be a good pole for next season, a 12'140 might be a good pole for right now.
