If they grab the box and stop the pole from rolling over the pole uncoils to soon not allowing you to get on top and good position to benifit from the pole. Plus may allow you to jmp on bigger sticks. Just my opinion I use the pacer plugs and they work well and not matter what all plugs will have to be replaced sometime so use what you like.


BUT what IF??? NOW I AM just saying this to see what the demand is for a tip that will last??? Would a $12.00 -$15.00 tip be worth it??

and if the company said buy the plug register it on line for a 60 days warranty?????
if it bust through it within 60 days you send it in to be replaced.
What about that confidence?

Might work, but I think I go through a good 20+ plugs a year I just whats works and at a decent price I think the price of plugs right now are ok. Mine seem to last quite a while to, but of course i am not a jam planter either.

I like that tag "JAM PLANTER" you are right the Jam Planters will benefit more than the swing vaulters.

It will be the same amount as moving to a .5 stiffer flex number will do for you depending on your current ability.

Only works on 14' pole on up noticably

you have to see the plug designs to understand the concept.

Number 3...Especially if you can work on it for 13' and 13'6" poles! :D
That's Jodie!!

A scripture that makes me think of all you girls and guys pole vaulting....

Habakkuk 3:19
The Sovereign LORD is my strength;
he makes my feet like the feet of a deer,
he enables me to go on the heights.
