a fast agressive swing will also force you to be on bigger poles, and Adam has a pretty good swing from all the videos I've seen ...but I don't know how he carries that tree trunk of a pole down the runway

do you guys prefer larger or smaller mandrel sizes? for me, i like having a thicker pole, just my preference...just wondering what everyone else is like cause i hear a LOT of people say they think they skinnier the better
Champions aren't made in gyms. Champions are made from something they have deep inside them-a desire, a dream, a vision. They have to have last-minute stamina, they have to be a little faster, they have to have the skill and the will. But the will must be stronger than the skill. - Muhammad Ali

5m 16.5 flex Spirit - NFI what the weight rating was
I've actually taken a jump on a 5m 16.0, but got rejected pretty hard
I jumped my PR on a 16' 190 16.6 spirit
i weighed between 170 and 175 then
i'm on 5m 15.7-14.2, i have a 16.2 that is a 190, so i'm guessing a 16.5 flex is roughly 190, maybe a stiff 185
the 5m 14.2 is a 205,
