Hey, I am a vaulter from Scottsboro, Alabama, and I am having some trouble deciding what kind of pole I need.

Right now I am using a 13' 145 pole, and I bend it pretty good. I am 130 pounds, 9th grade...but I am lookin to move up poles...however, when I try to use a 14' 145 pole, I cant bend it at all. They are both UCS Spirt poles i belive...white with a pink section with writing on it in the middle. Any suggestions on what kind of pole to go up on would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

Try this chart its not that best ive seem but the only one i can't find online,

A 14'145 is about the same as a 13'165. If you can get your hands on a 13'150 or 155, you might jump better on it... otherwise, try using the 13' 145 from a run that is 1 left shorter. When you blow through it from a shorter run, then go back to your longer run and try to get on the bigger pole.
