Choosing a Pole to use?

[rainbowgirl28]

i am 5'6" and i am 16 years old
i weighed 116
i was at the very top
i weigh 120 now and my PR is 11'9" and i dont want to sond cocky but i know i can clear more if i get a bigger pole so i need someones help on what pole to buy, now my scholl suplied the pole so i didnt have a wide variety so is there any company that u prefer

I'd say a 13'130, but you need to use the 12'4 120 until you are knocking off the bar on the way up with the standards all the way back. And when you go to the 13'130, you can't move your grip to the top, you have to compare it to the other pole and only hold and inch or two higher to start with.

It doesn't matter what brand.

Ok well my school got rid of my pole I used last year and now my question is will I get over 13'6" with a 13 foot pole I want to get that this year because I want to break my school record as a sophomore

It's impossible to say for sure. You'll do best with a number of poles, not just one pole. If you buy a pole that is too big for you, you won't make anything at all. It is certainly possible to clear 13'6 on a 13' pole, but realistically, you're going to need to borrow poles no matter what.
