Why ESSX?

Poles have been a long time coming from Richey. Finding a supplier who shares our values--that the vaulter comes first, and that we're only successful as a company when your kids are successful as athletes--was paramount. And that was exactly the attitude the team at Xlogic Sports, the manufacturer of the ESSX Pole, brought to the table.

But it was more than just enthusiasm. The ESSX pole is fabricated in the United States near Dallas, Texas, and the fabrication process is unique to the ESSX pole. Everything from the proprietary true rolling system they use to keep the fibers of the pole in line, to the way they've incorporated a special Heat Transfer Mineral Fluid Oil to keep moisture out of the pole building process, makes the ESSX Pole the best on the market.

But what's most impressive about their operation is its transparency; from the open invitation to the public to tour their facility to details about the manufacturing process that they're willing to provide on their website, ESSX keeps the customer informed and educated about its poles; because the only reason to let people know how you do something is if it's the absolute best way it can be done.

Things only get better; shipping poles is a difficult endeavor. Often times, in the standard cardboard tube, the pole gets nicked or run-over or stepped on in the shipping process. Many times, you cannot see this until the vaulter is up on the pole and hears that familiar creak, or worse yet, snap, of a damaged pole. ESSX poles, however, ship in Schedule 40 PVC containers; not only is the pole protected, but you get a case to store the pole in with the pole.

They've also done away with flex numbers; that is to say, your pole will have a flex number, but instead of being, for example, a 155 stiff flex pole, you pole will be rated exactly what it flexes at, to the nearest 2.2 pound increment. With other manufactures, 155 stiff means that you've got a 158 or 159 pound pole in your hands. By rating in smaller increments, not only do you know exactly what pole you're vaulting with, but the kid who loves his 155 stiff flex pole knows that he's really got a 159, is ready to move to a 160 or higher, and doesn't have to 'make weight' for a pole that is really stiff enough to carry him if he weighs 156 pounds.
