Penetration tips for a scrawny vaulter

I'm 6'3", and have a skinny build at 163lbs. I started bending on a 12 foot pole last (sophomore) year, and I was coming along fine till it broke. Now, the only pole my school has which can fit me with a possibility of bending is a 13.5' 160lb behemoth which I barely even made it into the landing pads with. What can I do to wrangle this pole? Given my situation and disadvantages, can I get some tips? It'd be great if you could include advice with handgrip, flex arm(for bending), and planting. Thanks for the help!

Joe, why are you starting a new thread on the same topic? You didn't like the tips that I gave you yesterday? :confused:

The more you cast your line, the more fish you'll catch, Kirk ;)

I don't think that's true on PVP, Joe. I think people will tire of duplicate posts. If you don't believe me, keep doing it and see what happens. In fact, I think I did see another couple posts from you today - both asking the same question re Air Strike.
