i made this transition this year, and i did it with a series of poles nearly the exact same as yours. when you go to the pole a foot longer--the 15 155 would prob be the best pole to start with since its basically the same as the 14 175-- don't raise your handgrip more than 3". Basically, i'm cautio...

When Roth was interviewed at Clovis for a podcast, he said the size of his pole. I'm tempted to say it was a 16ft 180, but if you want to know for sure, you can go listen to the podcast at polevaultworld.com.

I'll discuss Stacy since she's the American who seems to me to be the closest to Isinbayeva. I could see Dragila having jumped over 16 feet if she had made sig...

I sometimes wear them on bright days so that my eyes can relax and because a lot of pits in texas seems so best east/west. I've never heard they're illegal, though i could see them being banned by an officious official.
