-2" RN poles are 36.5" 3 footer
2ft pole.. Would be preeeetty short.
Like stock minus -12"..

fw trick only skis

It's all about weight distribution... Even a -2" pole hurts my back so I choose to change the weight distribution in other ways that are unfortunately more difficult. Shortening the pole is typically the easiest and quickest way to change the way the ski is weighted. If you need more than a foot taken off the pole length, you are either massively compensating for something else or you are riding extremely aggresive.

I was -4 on an ATP pole.... Hurt my back (im 6'4) now i ride with -2. Much better
i am probably massively compensating for being a noob, i will wait until i can ride better b4 i cut it cuz i am already starting to get used to it with the riding i have done since i started this thread :smashfreakB:

Is it better for taller riders to have a shorter pole to keep weight lower? Or just whatever your comfortable with?
