ok will do.

Hey guys, preseason training starts next week and i have a pretty good strength workout laid out already but i need a running workout. I am in fairly good shape even though i have taken the last month off but before that i was base training for about 3 months. So what im looking for is a twice a wee...

I really want to hit the summit this year but due to my lack of being in shape because the HS season hasnt started yet im either going to wait till june or next jan

Ha yeah you are definately spot on about that being a huge difference, this is my last year so i plan to make it the best and if necessary towards the end of the season i will man up and get another bigger pole if required.

and maybe like a super old 180 15 footer'

i only have the the 13' 6" 160 pacer, (not skypole like i previously said) and thats it.

mostly land in the center of the bit a few feet from the back of the box but occasionally i end up near right side of the pit

Standards at 24 usually unless im having an off day i bring them into 18.

I believe that when it came to pole drop, i was taght from the very beginning to almost let the pole be in a controlled free fall from the top to the box, with your last three steps being the planting section.?
