Move your hands 15cm lower and put your standards at 80. The pole is not too small, you are just gripping a bit too high. With a lower grip you will be able to swing better and vault higher over your handgrip.

There is no 'rockback'... there is only a swing.

Do you sort of get the different connotations these words have?
