My dad was 6 foot on the nose, but as you get older he is shrinking. I believe he is 5'11"ish now. Should he be sized for the 120 as it's end size is 5'11", or should I stick to the 130? — 2 Answers

Ultimately you 'd like to have a pole length where your arm is parallel to the ground when you're holding the handle. At 5' 11" he will likely need a 130 cm.

I would stay with the 130.
