thanks for clearing that up for me! i also forgot to mention im left handed if that changes anything. im new to this whole mid mark thing sorry if im leaving out important details, but thank you for your responses! and you're exactly right dj my TO is 10'

It's my left foot I believe and it's my 6th step.

Oh crap sorry that probably would've been helpful to know haha. My 32 midmark was from 5 lefts, 10 full steps

Thanks Kirk! I tried dogging my run at the meet I had today on the 13 160 to avoid over bending the pole and moved my run to about 60' 4". It surely helped a lot on my take off but for some reason I was a little goofy in the air today haha still managed to somehow get first though. I think what...

So I was reading about midmarks and came across DJ's midmark chart and after looking over it (im not sure if im reading it completely right in all honesty) it says that with my bar height of 12 feet (my pr) i should be holding 12" 3' (although i hold 12 feet even) and that my mid mark should be...

Thank you for your reply, do you think that me taking off under could be a result of my run being too close or solely on me reaching?

I'm currently having issues finishing at the top of my vault i swing up to my hands and start to drop my shoulders but they only ever get to where my hands are about at my waist then i flag out and its really limiting how high i could be im currently jumping a PR of 12 feet as a sophmore in high sch...

I actually figured out its an old training pole! brought it to a bell athletics camp and asked a couple of the guys there, thanks for your input though!

So I don't currently have any pictures but today I was rummaging around our schools stash of poles and found a very old sky pole that seems to be in good condition it's dark green and doesn't seem to have any sort of plastic wrapping with a design on it the label says it's a 13 160 (which is current...

thanks a lot! i was trying to get my pole in position to plant faster today so that id have enough time to fully extend my top arm it worked a lot better im still pretty iffy on the pole but i was able to at least get some what on the pit. If I keep honing my plant mechanics and keeping a tall top a...
