pole question

Unread postby nipger » Thu Apr 22, 2004 1:48 am

i have a series of 14 footers: a 14 30 35 40 and 50. when its time to go on the 14 145, can i just go on a 13 165. that pole kinda feels stiff though, the flex on it is 16.5. so am i better off gripping lower on the 40, or trying the 13 165.

sometimes on the 50 i cant get in enough to actually jump on it.
