When you say "4 step" is that "4 lefts"? Or is that 4 steps in total (ie. 2 lefts)?

Sorry, the terminology is a little different here in Aus. Also, what is your grip height?

i started when i was 16 and by 4 steps i mean 4 lefts and my grip is about 13

hmm...what pole are you using? you could be developing some sort of bad habit if your are on too soft of a pole, i would try to get your grip height down a little bit, you should be trying to jump ABOVE your grip height not a foot below. however this is pretty impressive for a first year vaulter.
