As mentioned elsewhere on this site, I've decided to concentrate soley on the vault.

So when I plant, should the soft side be pointing straight down ...

Yeah that last drill that Vaultpurple mentioned - we do that a lot at the start of our sessions.

It gets you used to working the right arm plus help you focus on your trial leg
