On a budget, Looking at Catapoles

I am on a budget from a small Catholic school in PA. They say one of the choices because of price is to buy 3 Catapoles or 2 Spirits. 3 poles would really help out our program. Can anyone give me decent information on Catapoles. I have a 14 year old girl who went 10'3 on a 12' rocket pole that had a flex of 23.0, and am looking for a longer pole for the future (12'4 and a 13'). Do Catapoles have flex ratings?? Any info or experience would be good. :yes:

do they even sell catapoles anymore? I would definantely go with altius. they are great poles for highschoolers and they have a really resonable price.

yes they still sell catapoles there sold by essx I think. Joe dial jump 19+ with these but i believe the grip is rather large around so ur girl vaulter might not like that.

flex ratings on catapoles are a big range and the poles are in 10 lbs incriments now rather than 5 lbs. if you need more preciseness we provide that in ESSX 2.2 lbs incriments
