Well, before getting on a longer pole, be sure you can vault well with poles 20lbs over the weight your using now. That should get you prepared for the new height. I heard it from a video.

well it is possible i went from a 12'6 145 pole to a 14' 160 pole in 1 week the first couple of days are going to be very frustrating but once you get on it you will feel very good
