Forgot to mention grip about a foot over your reach height with your top hand. Only move your grip up when you are DEEP in the pit. Move your grip up about 3 inches at a time. You will stiff pole for a while to learn the dynamics and that is a good thing. Safety, safety, safety.

Thanks for the tips. I assume all of this will make perfect sense once I get out there and try it.

You will have someone coaching you right?

Yes. The guy I'll be with has worked with some elite vaulters so apparently he knows his stuff. I trust I'll be in good hands.

NO!! I'm 56 and just started again after 38 years. I did a lot of research on the net and was fortunate to find a local club and coach about 25 minutes away. GO FOR IT!

It looks like you are about 2 hours away from a great facility: http://www.shealyathletics.com/
