What are the Elites using?

Just out of curiosity - I was wondering if anyone knew what size poles the Elite female vaulters like Stuczynski and Isi were using? Thanks for any info on the matter.

Usually between 14' and 15'.

Thanks, that's what I was thinking. Any idea what sort of weight?

If you threw a dart between 14'7 155 and 15' 165 you would hit the mark.

That's a pretty small window and it really depends on how tall they are and how much they weigh. I know of a certain female D1 vaulter who regularly jumps on a 14-6 165/170 Pacer Fx Carbon.

How is that not in the range I said? Besides, the question was about Jenn and Lena.

Yes it is in that range. If those numbers for Jen and Isi are true I am quite surprised they aren't on stiffer poles with their speed and strength.

I read on iaaf.org that Isi's new pole is a 15' 18.3 flex--puts it as a heavy 165, light 170.
