Help with pole selection

[cooper]

Hey, I am a vaulter from Scottsboro, Alabama, and I am having some trouble deciding what kind of pole I need.

Right now I am using a 13' 145 pole, and I bend it pretty good. I am 130 pounds, 9th grade...but I am lookin to move up poles...however, when I try to use a 14' 145 pole, I cant bend it at all. They are both UCS Spirt poles i belive...white with a pink section with writing on it in the middle. Any suggestions on what kind of pole to go up on would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

A 14'145 is about the same as a 13'165. If you can get your hands on a 13'150 or 155, you might jump better on it... otherwise, try using the 13' 145 from a run that is 1 left shorter. When you blow through it from a shorter run, then go back to your longer run and try to get on the bigger pole.
