Rowing?

It's probably been covered already but here goes:
I watched some practice footage of an accomplished female and noticed that after a great plant and takeoff,
she forcibly moved her top hand toward the pit.
It appeared to me that the pole instantly compressed, stopped rolling forward and commenced to unbending causing her to land short.
I discussed this with a rising college sophomore, also accomplished(17') and his reply was "oh, that's how you're supposed to pole vault". I tried to be diplomatic but in truth I disagree.
Any input?
