Can't invert on my new pole

[mcminkz05]

ok, iv just gotten on a new pole, and everythings fine, except that i am not getting my hips or legs up, and rocking back. i am pretty much sitting on the bar when i go over i know i can invert, iv done it in drills all the time, i know how and what to do, and iv gotten it a few times in a full jump w/ this ople, but for some reason, i just cant do it nemore. doesn anybody know of anything i might be doing wrong once a bar is put up, that would keep me from being able to get upside-down? or ne suggestions?? anything would b appreciated. im close, but something is wrong thats keepin me from gettin it, and i dunno what it cud b. ~~thanx~

can you get your hips up with your older pole(s). If so, make sure when you change up to your new pole, you do the EXACT same things you did on your old pole(s).

Did you move your grip up on the new pole? you could be holding to high.
what is the difference in pole size?

If you go from a 13’ pole holding the top, to a 14’ pole holding the top you will have problems with timing.
Try lowering your grip until you can do it then move up a 2 or 3 inches at a time.

Good Luck
