In pole vaulting how heavy is the pole?

Answer 1

It depends on your weight. For example if you weigh 130 pounds you would use a pole that has a max weight of 130 pounds, and usually the poles with a lighter weight on them are usually thinner because they don't need to hold up so much weight. It also depends on the height. poles vary in heights.

Answer 2

YES. Depending on your weight you will need a certain type of pole. For example, if you weigh 180 lbs you cannot use a pole that is for people who weigh 120 lbs otherwise you would most likely break it. To discover the weight limitation on poles you can look at the top of the pole where there will most likely be a sticker saying "120" or something like that.
