pole preference...

[LancerVaulter07]

what kind of poles does everyone prefer?
i have a 13' 1 1/2'' Rocket 135 with a {flex # 22.5 (i think)}

i've vaulted on pacer mystics and a pacer fx. i'm very comfortable on the mystics but i liked the feel of the fx. unfortunately, my coach won't buy any that i can vault on!!

that's cool....my freshman year when i cleared
9'6'' i was on an OLD rocket intermediate 150
that shouldn't have been used but oh well haha.
at the start of this season i was on a 12' rocket 150
but it wouldn't bend for me (i'm 135) so i had to
order my own pole and now i'm up to 11 which
is awesome. i've jumped on UCS spirits which are
very nice too, they have nice bend but so does my
rocket!

I used to be in love with my Neon Green Sky Pole, but that love ended when i snapped it the first month i was bending. Now my love is my 15 155 Spirit. It got a special place on the bus when we went to meet, and my coach would make ppl run laps if they stepped on it on the bus.

niiiice. the dumb freshman always stand up right on the poles when we get off.

I LOVE ESSX

All of my poles and most of my clubs poles are Gill (ie Pacer). I've had success with the poles and good relations with the company and the middle man companies I've ordered from.

My younger brother has some UCS that he really likes - but I ordered him a Carbon FX, so we'll see if he likes the change.

With that being said - I've never jumped on ESSX, NORDIC, or Rocket (other than a training pole) - so I dont know how they compair. I'm not going to say that one company is better than the rest just because its the only or main one I've jumped on - make sure you guys keep that in mind.

I live by the Pacer Carbon fx's, just got 2 new ones, but i also love spirits, ill jump on an essx anyday, and same with the old yellow catapoles!

We don't really have a pole for me. my coach bought two poles this year, but the one he got for me is too short.
