Hey I have a huge question! I am on a 14' 155 lb pole and I just presently vaulted 14'3 the other day and I was blowing through it. I need to move up to another pole but here is the question I only weigh 110 lbs and I can either move up to a 15' 140 lb pole or i can move up to a 14' 160 lb pole.... I am struggling with the 15' 140 lb pole i can't get in on it holding at the same spot. So should I special order a 15' 135 or what should I do? Sorry It is really complex cause I am jumping 45 lbs above my weight right now and I don't think it would be wise to get on a 14' 160 and be jumping 50 lbs above my wieght! UCS don't makes 14'6 so that sucks so what should I do?

How much are you bending the 14'155? If you are bending it a lot you should give the 160 a try... don't worry about how much you weigh.

Jump on the 14' 160. Escbach vaulted 18'2 1/2" holding 15'1". His pole was rated much more over his weight than that is over yours i think.
