Going "up" and not "out"

These jumps are from seven lefts gripping 13'3 on a 14' 165. Bungee is at about 14'. I've been working on completing my inversion and allowing the pole to work for me.( If you search the forum you will see that I've made decent progress on that aspect of the vault from a few months ago.) These jumps...

Therefore, LoJo couldn't spend all day with every vaulter, but he did instruct the group as a whole ...

I know about doing ring drills and high bar drills (although my school has neither) and stiff pole drills. I would prefer if you could give me some specific drills, adjustments...
