Look near the bottom of the pole, there should be a number written in kind of blurry sharpie under the fiberglass that probably says either 21 or 18. That is the mandrel size. You can order a new plug from Gill Athletics www.gillathletics.com, just give them a call.

Then it's not legal for high school competition so it's kind of a moot point...
