rolling hop- 20-25 inches seat in- 15-20 inches seat out- 20ish inches
Somehow, I just today suddenly could do seat out really good. WEIRD!

I personally think that rolling hops are considerably easier to get height out of. But I'm working on static hops, so hopefully I'll get much better at those too.
