In Wisconsin they check at every meet. When you start to bend you will need to move to a stiffer pole and you should have no problem using a pole that is 13 feet and rated at your weight. Right now I’m on a pole that is 20 lbs. over my weight and I’m starting to blow threw it. Just work on a nice high plant and good speed. The plant is everything and if you don’t get it right you don’t go any higher.
