I think my step being so in caused me to be so far in front of my top arm Right you are! Moving your step out 4-6" should do wonders. You are being pulled off the ground instead of being able to jump off the ground. Also it would help to move your arms forward and up as you plant and not just ...

The thing which will help you most is the plant and take off. itf they ar properly done it really makes the rest easy. Don't worry so much about what you do on the pole. That will in large part take care of itself once you are in the right position at tke off. You are taking off somewhat under and a...

I think vault3rb0y is onto something. The plant and takeoff are initiated well and the vaulter is coming in with a nice early high plant. The take off could be more agressive with a jumper's style pop off of the take off foot, but what is killing the vault and causing the flagging is that the vaulte...

Improve just a couple of things and the stiffer pole will work. You ar blowing through the current pole even though you are collapsing your left arm. It looks like you could have your take off foot a little bit further out. It should be just under your top hand. You also need to get you plant out ab...

Getting your step on is critical. I agree that you do not want to block out the left arm. BUT, you do want to pre...

I agree that you have a good base on your vault. There are generally three ways to increase pole speed. Lowering your grip, going to a smaller pole, or increasing the energy going into the pole through increased speed or a better plant and take off. Your second jump looks like it was on the same pol...

The bar sitter is having to rush his vault at the top by bailing out before the turn because he is not loading the pole with his bottom hand. this causes his body to sweep past the pole prematurely. He then can't really achieve the rockback and turn. I can't tell from the video whether he is also ta...

Snow 26's issues are primarilly related to pole speed. He is blowing through the pole because he is fairly fast. This can be remedied by a combination of things. A meatier pole and a higher grip. Alternatively, in a fix he can also slow down (best achieved by reducing the aproach by two steps); howe...
