Grip width???
Hello
I was just wondering if someone could enlighten me on the pros and cons of having a wide/narrow grip width. I've seen many elite vaulters have a pretty close grip and be successful and vice versa. What are the benefits?
Thank you!!!

Rocking back fully
I'm a 14'3" baker and a junior in high school. I always get a huge hip height buy I'm having trouble rocking back all the way with my tuck and that is effecting the way I invert and shoot. This makes me stay to shoot towards the bar instead of vertically. Any advice?

Re: VAULTING POLE NICKNAMES
We call or old altius pole captain America because of the red and blue. And we have an old Skype with a guy holding a lightning bolt so we call that Hercules. We just bought two new 14'6" 145 and 150 so we call those the twins.
