I am going to be competing in Pole Vault at the college level beginning this fall. I am wondering if I need to get a pair of pole vault spikes? In high school I used sprint spikes with a slight heel on them for Pole vaulting and they worked out fine. I have also noticed that pole vautl spikes seem to be heavier than traditional spikes, and I need all of the speed that I can get. Is it a good idea for me to get pole vault spikes? Thanks for your help
