: Thanks, i will try a shorter pole that we have at school! : : : Best Choice 375/55 12’4”-121.3 : : If moving the grip up more than 1 fist 375/56 12’4’-123.5 : : This is what the Pole calculator says. : : You might even jump better and higher on a 11’6”-125-130lbs pole : : I find that sometimes the grip is too high for the timing that a vaulter has and the need to lower the pole grip for a few vaults to get the timing back works well and then you can then move to the bigger grip. Ironic that you say that the pole bends too much if you raise your grip: That means you are holding too high already. You need to learn to jump over your handhold. Jumping at or lower than your handhold is pole bending not pole vaulting. : : If you lower your handgrip one fist and drive the box with a high plant the more you will jump over your handgrip and then move to stiffer NOT LONGER poles. Using a pole 10 to 15lbs over your weight successfully will help you to lift your hips higher for a better timed push off the handgrip. : : A coach must be present at all times when vaulting or training. : : You must follow the rules and use a pole rated at your weight or less important to proper vaulting. : : Never use a pole that has been nicked, spiked or damaged. Do not flex that pole in the box. : : Always vault on landing areas bigger than the rules require. : : We recommend a landing area two feet longer than the length of pole you use. : : Always use standard base protection pads on standards. : : Do not use a take-off point more than 6 inches under the top hand at the point of take-off. : : Don not bend the pole more than 90 degrees. : : Always check to make sure the pole tip will protect the end of the pole. : : Never jump on a cut off pole. : : Vault Safe / Have Fun! : : Bruce Caldwell
