if you're blowing through this pole (meaning you're getting too much bend, that it hurts your jump rather than helps) then i would suggest moving onto a:
115lb 11 foot pole
120lb 11 foot pole
if you're getting a good sized bend or flex and the techniques of your vault are fine but you're finding yourself landing deep in the pit, then i would sugges getting either a:
110lb 11'6''
110lb 12'0''
115lb 11'6''
or 115lb 12' i would advice you use one of these poles before you mount a 120lb 12'0''.
If this is confusing i apologize, just let me know what you think and anyone else is welcomed to critique this advised pole seleciton.
