@NehpetsK57 Sorry to burst your bubble, but Decathletes are the best athletes. They have to do pole vault as well as nine other events. Decathletes may pole vault four to five feet below the world record, but when have you seen a pole vaulter throw a shot-put over 45 feet, run a 400 meter under 48 seconds, or long jump over 23 feet? And that's only three other events, you still have six others that haven't been mentioned.

@slashfan7777 - You need a shorter pole to progress. Gripping a longer and heavier pole lower increases the weight of the pole 5 - 10 pounds for every 6" down that you grip! So if you are gripping a foot down on a 170, it's like vaulting on a 180-190 pound pole. Hope this helps... of course, there are many other factors but, this is something to consider.

Slashfan7777 i know that the plant is a big deal and probably the two biggest things are  keeping your bottom arm straight and jumping hard those two things will lead to a good bend.

@slashfan7777 hi iv been pole vaulting since i was in the 7th grade and i dont have a coach either but to me it sounds like you are not picking your knees up high enough when you are running and also when you make your plant you need to drive up as hard as you can. also new poles sometimes need broken in so they will be a little stiff when you first start jumping with it.

Hi I am a noob pole vaulter, my PR is 11.5 ft. I used to jump on a pole that was 13 ft and rated for 150lb, i weigh 163lb (I know this isnt allowed) so I have recently purchased a new pole, this is a 14 ft and rated for 170lb. I am having lots of trouble with it. I cant bend the new pole at all. Im not holding it at the very top yet because im too scared it will stand me up, In fact i have tried and it has. I dont know what im doing wrong and i dont have a coach to tell me. Please HELP!
