I am a recently retired pole vaulter with four nearly new essx poles to sell. I bought them last year from Earl Bell and we worked together to get a perfect series. They are:
1. 14'1" 22.7 (143lbs.)
2. 14'1" 22.1 (149lbs.)
3. 14'1" 21.5 (156lbs.)
4. 14'1" 21.2 (160lbs.)
Two of these poles have been cut (2 inches) so their flex fits right in the series but they all work perfectly and again are nearly new. I jumped on them for 1 season and the 4th one in the series has yet to be jumped on!
I am willing to sell the series for $1000 which is a great deal for the set. If you are at all interested PLEASE write to me and we can talk about price etc.

Those flex numbers have to be Earl Bell flexes

Bruce - I'm surprised to see you didn't comment on cutting the poles?
We do not recommend it.

We do not recommend it. And these poles are already done so I did not mention it.
What was done was to provide a series in flexes by trimming off the bottom of the pole to arrive at a specific flex number. However as we have stated in other post that a pole is the weight size based on the pattern and trimming the pole cut 1-2 inches off the bottom of a pole may change the flex or where the flex is now measured but it is still the weight size we started with.
Doing so with our poles will result in a lower bend as the butt area is crucial towards keeping the pole from bending into the pit?
I cannot speak for the other companies but you do need to be careful as altering a pole more than this will make them illegal for High School usage.

I listed these poles honestly and so included that I had cut a few inches... I didn't mean to cause trouble.
But... for everyone still reading this listing....
THESE POLES HAVE SOLD!
PS. Wilson, I completely forgot about Grandpa! I should be ashamed!
No Problems...

I am sure that these with such a little cut are still great poles. No Problems caused here. As a manufacturer, I have to state it.
