I KNOW POLE LENGTH ISN'T DIRECTLY PROPORTIONAL TO HEIGHT, however...I'm about 6ft and not sure what length poles to get. I'm not a park rat who wants poles up to their knees, equally i'm not a racer... i want something for all-mountain a little shorter than a ski instructor would tell you. I used what i thought was 125's when i hired last season, and i think i want maybe 5-10cm less, but i measured out 115 and it seems way too long?

Do these lengths sound reasonable?

+K for helpful responses
 
I'm 6'2" and I'm "supposed" to use 50-52 inch poles, so that's like 127cm. So I think 115 would work because the tip of the pole will be in the snow, so on hill they will feel shorter.
 
Thanks, this is what I was thinking but I swear the 125's I used when I hired are a fuckload shorter than my brother's 125's and that mindfucked me :s I think I'll go 115
