Just means your tecknique is good, and that you are probably getting good height of them. Really depends on how they feel for you, if you arn't comfortable with it phone up Pro-Jump and see what they do, sometimes there sizes arnt precise.

Well done

are you happy with the height you are getting from them?

You may want to adjust you technique so you dont bottom them out every jump or think about upgrading. If you are happy with the height then stick to those springs.

i'm getting about 4 foot i think!!! always want to higher lol, i also have a set of 115 springs tried using them but they feel very hard. just worried that they'l break lol

It's quite an upgrade, they will be a bit stiffer, but 4ft isn't bad height. You could get higher on the others but it would probs take much more effort. Don't think they will break lol.

Wilbo do try out 7's well first as I have 114 PJ's and can bock well on them with only the ocasional bottoming but I have tried all the top weight 7's and can bottom all of them at will

First ones I had were s-rex X's and they were on the floor within 3 hrs
I tried Clives pro energies and they went to the floor very quick but I must say they were a bit sluggish compared to their earlier springs (felt a bit dead)
Clives first set were s-rex S's and he was bottoming them withing a few months and he is nowhere near as heavy as me (think hes around 12-13 st) so I expect him to be flattening the Pro-energies soon

So although I think 7's are good for lighter people anyone extreme and over 14-15 st is better with PJ's but like I say borrow some and see what you think but try them for a while as they feel very good at first

Read the first sentence of that and got bored Jason, to many numbers and letters

When you spend £250 on a pair of stilts and realise your old ones are better like I did you will realise boredom can save you money DC

Luckily I got a refund as I had asked the seller if they would bottom with my weight and he had assured me they wouldn't and I would get more height so when I went back and flattened another new set in front of him he just gave me a my money back (Nice guy and honest)

And as another figure to bore you I believe they are £300 of so now
