Well, if you're hitting it on the way up that means you're comin through mighty quick or you're not rocking back faster....or it could be that u are on too soft of a pole, i think you can either go for a pole that is the same weight, but make it like a foot longer, or i would really suggest stayin on the 13 footer and just get a pole that is 10 pounds more heavier

I know this because it is my problem too Im on a 13' pole and only jumping 13
