Changing poles

Unread postby pvjon13 » Tue May 11, 2004 7:51 pm

I was currently jumping on a 14 ft pole and clearing about 14'6" while on this pole. Then i changed to and ESSX carbon fiber pole of the same height and jumped over 15'6". Then I bought a new ESSX pole that was a 14'7" pole and i am now jumping between 15'9" and 16' and higher. For anyone i recomend trying one of these poles. The reaction time from the bend to the recoil is very fast and effective and gives a nice pop at the top to help increase your jumping height.

well im trryign to get on my new 14' essx pole, but the only time iv tried so far it sure gave me a hard time :confused: .. ill credit that to my plant and takeoff though, which iv recently changed to allow me to get on a larger pole. cant wait to get on it though, hopefully before regionals!
