Yes,when comparing brands of poles, compare them by the actual length of the pole. A 13'1.50" 150lb Spirit and a 13' 150lb Pacer are going to be two similar poles.

The pink max hand hold band is only for high school athletes. It is the factory's recommendation that you do not hold higher than that. However, a lot of people hold higher than that (not in high school). And a lot of times if UCS knows they are shipping to a college, they will not even put a max hand hold band on the pole.
