how tall are you? because you should take your height, subtract the height of your tee, and you will have your ideal pole length.

tee length>pole length

my tees = 38"
my poles = 28"

I'm 6' 2" and my poles are like 36" or 38".  I like my poles really short, easier to handle.  I cut them so if I'm standing up, and I'm palming my poles the baskets barely touch the ground, I dunno if that helps, but I really like them, hate using longer poles now.
