One of the most important parts of Pole vault is the pole. Poles, have very many different things about them. First, the length of the pole. The length of the pole is a big factor on how you perform. The longer the pole, the faster you’re going to have to run, and the higher it will send you. Except, if you don’t end up doing something right, you are most definitely going to get hurt. The Pole also has a weight limit on it. What the number says on the poles means you can weigh no more than what it says, or else you will break the pole. The pole might not break right away, but eventually it will snap.
