Grip width???

Hello

I was just wondering if someone could enlighten me on the pros and cons of having a wide/narrow grip width. I've seen many elite vaulters have a pretty close grip and be successful and vice versa. What are the benefits?

Rocking back fully

I'm a 14'3" baker and a junior in high school. I always get a huge hip height buy I'm having trouble rocking back all the way with my tuck and that is effecting the way I invert and shoot. This makes me stay to shoot towards the bar instead of vertically. Any advice?

We call or old altius pole captain America because of the red and blue. And we have an old Skype with a guy holding a lightning bolt so we call that Hercules. We just bought two new 14'6" 145 and 150 so we call those the twins.
