Pole Vaulting Poles
Selecting a pole-vaulting pole can be a difficult task, as there are varying differences of length and stiffness. Most athletes begin vaulting on small poles and slowly progress to longer and stiffer poles as technique and speed improve. If you need help is selecting a pole please email us at pvcoach@msn.com
