If i were to grip 13' on a 13'6 pole, i would reach in my last 2 steps and jump at 6 feet again, causing me to be inside when really at around 13' my take off mark is around 7'. unless your sliding down the pole or your 8' tall it's impossible to grip 13' and take off at 6' without falling flat on ...

just curious about the 1 handed jumpers, is this an actual vault with a bent pole or just gripping high enough on a straight pole to ride over the bar?

at last years Prefontain meet one of the vaulters had a ring of tape just below her bottom hand that must have been close to 3/8 of an inch thick.
