Alright so I hope most of you have seen my unfortunate pole break on the video review forum...
Well, i was on 13'6" 140 Pacer that snapped close to the top, obviously not a result of misuse, probably a crack or something in the pole itself
anyway, my coach said that he's going to order a new pole, ANYONE THAT I WANT, soon.
I was wondering what kind of pole people's preferences are, Pacers, Skypoles, or UCS Spirit.
Also, should i just get the same pole or a slightly different one? The poles my school have require a medium between our 13' 150 and our 14' 140 (Which I am definitely not ready to be on)
I held the 13'6" at 12'6" and have been jumping 11'6" for the better part of this season
Help please!
p.s. I am 5'7" 131 lbs

Re: New Pole
What do you need out of the new pole? How is your current pole not correct? Video of a typical jump (not the broken pole vid) on the pole that you normally use would be helpful.

Re: New Pole
Poles that snap near the top are almost always the result of the pole banging the standard during a jump... or less commonly damage during shipping. Both of which count as misuse.
