Perfect pole

Unread postby rizlab » Sat Feb 18, 2006 1:16 pm

i hate to be the bother, and i know everyone is sick of people wondering what the ideal pole is for them, money is no question for me as my club and skool are rich biatches. Im 15, 6ft 3-4 and i want a decent 15'1 or 6 with a decent flick, nout to heavy(that means no cats) i want a 170 and a 175, what should i go for? Should i just go for a good reliable ucs spirit?
thnx rizla

How high are you vaulting and how much do you weight?

errr well without these poles it has reli hindered my vaulting, so i was blowing through, but with these i reckon 15'1 (i only grip about 14'4) and im still working on my tuck, i weigh about 140-145 pounds.

there is a weight and flex number rating to every pole...the weight rating that you're listing covers a certain range of flex numbers...they want to know what the specific flex numbers are for your poles
