Tye Employs the "Harvey's Horizontal Technique" in the PV
The physics of the pole vault converts horizontal speed into
vertical lift. Tye who can generate more speed by sliding the pole along the runway reasons that the extra speed will translate into extra height.
He has already cleared 18' 8" using HHT and feels that is just the beginning. "I am faster sliding the pole. Now it is up to my form to capture the extra force generated by the speed."
Tye is working with ESSX to create a tip for the HHT. "There is no foreseeable reason that I can't reach a new PB" says Harvey who has vaulted over 19 feet. 2001 World Indoor Silver medalist Tye Harvey has a passion for all things mechanical. He also loves the pole vault like few others. His zeal has lead him to employ the push or slide technique (Harvey's Horizontal Technique) to propel his career upward.
