Different Pole Brands

Unread postby MightyMouse » Mon Jan 31, 2005 6:33 pm

I was looking at all the links to differnt pole vendors sites, and wondered what would be a reason to buy one of the smaller brand poles ex , Rocket, Big Stick, Altus and Cata-Pole, or Nordic (although Nordic doesnt seem to be that small just in the US)

I buy a smaller brand pole for my vaulters b/c:
1) I can get 5 poles for the price of 3 larger brand name poles.
2) I coach HS- they are just learning
3) I coach HS- poles get abused
