: Try to hold the same grip as the 13' pole first,while keeping left arm pressure on the pole the whole time, Oh and start rowing the second you leave the ground. The two together will help you get into the pit and then only then hold a higher grip one inch at a time.THIS IS A FUN GAME ON INCHES NOT FEET, at least this is what I believe. GOOD LUCK!

I tried out a new pole all day to day. I was trying to get on a 14' 125# from a 13' 140# (i weight 120#) and I wasn't getting "in" to the pit. I was getting some height but I stalled out at the top. I came to either the conclusion that Im not penetrating long enough which might mean im not running fast enough or that im not strong enough. If anybody has some good tips to give me on how to get In to the pit so I could actually vault high on it. plese post or email me. Thanks
