Hi everyone, I am currently in the process of buying a new pole for my senior season next year and I am trying to decide between a UCS and Pacer. I am using a 13' 145 ESSX right now but crushing it and I know I need a 14' 150 for next year. Looking online, I see that a UCS has the numbers (425/68) next to the 150 model and Pacer has (430/68).....my question is, what does this mean?? Thanks!

I believe that they are metric numbers. it is in 425 cm (14ish feet i think) then 68 kg (about 150 lbs)

Call up the company and talk about your needs. Arbitrarily buying a pole can be a costly kick in the grill if you get it wrong. HipAthletics has a progressive PV pole exchange program, this eases the burden of owning buying/changing poles, back in the day, my school was much more willing to buy poles and exchange them when i was growing rather than just buy a pole that i may out grown in a season.

This is correct
