What colors are left that haven't been used? Skypoles are green, altius are light blue, ucs/pacer fx/essx are white, catapoles (old ones) - yellow...there are others but I can't think of all of them.

How about no mystic pole at all? Its silly to make a "ladys" pole just because its lighter. Thats like ladys cereal + energy bars Its just a marketing scheme. You cant get a ladys essx spirit. so why the mystic?

What do you all think about the poles being marketed more for SMALLER vaulters instead of FEMALE vaulters?

We had a ladys pole at one time called MS extreme
well it was a great pole for women they jumped well on it, then a few guys tried the pole and jumped high too. We discovered that design was just as good for women as men so we made one line just like spirit.

I saw some MSTIC then a year later I saw MYSTIC so I guess this is a uni pole too for both men and women. Correct me if I am wrong.

Red is great color it is hard to get in red tape, the tape seems orange in some types of light. MAXIMA 4 pole use to be in RED and we had the same orange problem in some lighted area indoor., .
I love the PV, it is in my DNA

thats my pole and i though it was pink. One of our guys had to use it and everyone already though he was Gay, so it didn't help him out much. The pole doesn't bother me :D

Maybe you should send in your new name as a suggestion? ;)


I could care less what they call it, I want to see the poles come out better looking. Something girls (or small guys!) can be proud to jump on.

As far as I know the mistic poles are narrower then some other poles, so that girls(small ppl) can grip them better.
