Pole lengths vary among each individual athlete. A pole can be anything from 10' for a beginner to 17' for a world class athlete, usually going up in 4" or 6" increments, depending on the brand. Beginners start on shorter poles and as their skill level and strength increases, so does the length of the pole. Poles also vary in flex, giving them a weight class as well. Each individual athlete will chose a specific pole for both it's length and weight.

Average High school Girl: 10'- 13'7" or 14'

Average High school Boy: 12' - 15'

World Class Women: Around a 15'

World Class Man: 17'

These obviously are not the only length they use, as each vault and each athlete uses the pole they need at the time.
