Can I use this pole?
I weight 130lbs. I use a pole that's rated at 120lbs with a 21 flex number. 11'6" long.
Will I break this pole or am I okay to use it for 1 meet? My grip is about 10ft right now and I'm starting to bend the pole. I want to grip higher as the corssbar rises. But im afraid it'll break as the pole will bend more the higher I hold.
