There aren't any. You'll need to call the manufacturer.

they are usually pretty good about being quick with orders. we ordered poles from UCS on a monday and had them in Michigan in time for a friday meet!

If you are in high school I would not worry about buying poles by the flex number. At the high school level you must be below the weight requirements of the pole you use, so I would suggest ordering by the weight rating.

The only problem is that the flex numbers for a weight can vary so much that you could end up with a pole that is much bigger or smaller than what you expected.

when i was in HS
my dad would call up bryan at pacer, and ask for a pole based on stiffness per weight rating
stiff 180, soft 180, middle 180
we generally would jump 2. for example
medium 170, soft 175, still 175, medium 180
but if your trying to reduce the number poles you need just ask for the middle ones, then they will all be pretty easy to figure out the translation
