I have dropped from 125 to 120 & my instructor has got me to use 115's in the last couple of weeks (guess who is leaning back again) - so the 115's got me forward, but they are slightly dodgy if you plant them wrong - trip over your feet. that's my excuse anyway - oh & I am 180. comprex, do you have 118's??

surely a persons height isn't as relevant as the way their height is distributed - e.g. I am 180 but my inside leg is 34 - so would someone with short legs & a long body need different length poles? tis too early for this thread

rpft, yes indeed. Cut down a set of 120s.
bright yellow trimmed with blue purple red and green SL Kazamas with neon yellow and purple bash guards, as atrocious a Japan-market assault on your retinas as you can get, hee.
Masque, have you thought about the combination of shorter poles, lighter pole touches, and poles to the -side- i.e. wrists in punching position not torch-holding?
