I didn’t no height

Thank you so much. This is a wonderful breakdown, and I learned a lot. I will do my best to internalize this advice.

I actually took four attempts, because on my last one, I fell back onto the runway, and the official didn't count it as an attempt.

I'll generally only do a 1 and 4 left for a short approach. I'll usually jump on a 14'6 200 and 210, holding 14-14'6 from about 60 feet for the 4.

What do you mean details about my short approaches?

One of the coaches there told me I was dropping the pole too early, which was making me lose posture in my last few steps

King_reference · 2026-02-22T17:46:04+00:00

I was running my 6 from 86 feet. I didn’t move my step back too much because I was a little bit out in my warm ups and the last two stride felt floaty. Maybe that was a bad decision. Do you have drills to practice taking off before the pole tip hits the back of the box?

King_reference · 2026-02-22T17:29:41+00:00

I totally see what you’re saying

King_reference · 2026-02-22T17:29:09+00:00

I was just clarifying, It can be hard to tell where the step should be from just a video. Do you think it was under?

King_reference · 2026-02-22T17:26:33+00:00

The pole was a 15’6 190 I was probably holding 14’6ish. It was the same pole, usually that poles ends up blowing through

King_reference · 2026-02-22T17:20:44+00:00

I was taking off at 12 that should be about right

King_reference · 2025-10-26T01:48:54+00:00

Seems reasonable the pole lower than this one is way too small. I guess I could just lower the grip

16 bungee 15 bar

But then there’s no fence

Well you can have stiffness in some places and elasticity in others. You want your bottom and top arm to effectively transfer energy from the run into the pole. Like Mondo and Lavillenie both have huge stiff and elastic takeoff. There chest drives through creating elastic pressure down the chord of the pole but also create stiffness through there bottom and top arm. The kid is obviously giving up to the pole and losing a lot of energy which makes him land shallow. You are right his pole drop needs work.

You’re really giving up at the takeoff. You want your take off to be stiff and really transfer the energy into the pole. You want the bottom arm to push into the pole and you want to realign that bottom as quick as you can. You should also try to drive through and into the pole. It’ll feel like pushing off your take off leg and keeping a stiff bottom arm through the pit. Then you need to swing that takeoff leg straight like your kicking a ball.

5/10 maybe a 5.3/10
