Re: shooting up not out

Re: mid mark chart...grip height

I would use the chart every day to practice the appraoch on the track and every vault session as a "tool" to correlate with the run, plant and swing... when you have your best run and vault check the grip, mid.. see if it matches up...also check and see where you hit at the "MID"...

Re: mid mark chart...grip height

So would you advise a high school vaulter to use this chart(only the grip to bar height ratio) for his vaults as long as he can move te grip to vertical?
