Enloe, I do not recommend this but I saw it work. A tennis shoe was placed on the line and nobody stretched. Better off just to imagine its there!

So to me the Lavellinie method of vaulting appears to offer 3 Main advantages. 1) It allows a shorter and even slower vaulter to cover a longer stiffer pole. 2) It allows the vaulter plenty of time to cover the pole and 3)It allows the vaulter plenty of time to line up for fly-away. Those are some d...

The more the pole compresses and the faster and shorter the chord gets, the more it rotates and moves to the clearance plane

.

Why is that Will? Also,Is there anything a vaulter can do beside compression, that would effect the speed and or amount of that rotation?

I would also like to point out that Lavillinie has managed to cover the pole so quickly while performing his double leg tuck, (I believe that is because of his Low COG swing, the shortness in his tuck and the speed and position of the pole in its rotation at the time of his tuck.) that he has time t...

Also Will while your reviewing that do you notice any of the following? So what are some things that lavillinie does different than Bubka to effect (Increase) the rotation of the pole? As you stated his low COG at penetration results in a greater early pole bend, shortening the chord and thus greate...

The pole rotates and its position in time is important. This IS what we have been talking about. I have stated that between these two the swing is different and that Lavillenie's swing is more efficient. Is it related to his relation to the pole in time? Yes, yes it is. :yes: Good, I'm glad you ack...

It is here I have to say, pole rotation doesn't energize the system or vaulter in any way. Will are you also saying that the rotating pole has no impact on the direction of the swing and more specifically that the vaulter does not have the abillity to make adjustments on their swing that would resu...

How is it possible he could swing so low what appears an almost delayed low glide and yet still cover that pole with ease and in plenty time? I have full describes how I feel he accomplishes that by taking full advantage of the gravity vector and of equal importance by taking making much better use ...

Will, if you don't want to use the damn term "Centrifugal" to describe that force that the bending, but more specifically rotating pole applies to the vaulter and its impact on his swing depending with how the vaulter utilizes it than call it what ever you damn well like use it in place of...

Ok Will (You can call me Joe. I chose to take the handle "PVDaddy" only because we all know many dad's can be over bearing at times and it was to illicit that response. I know it was kinda wrong, but,I have a bit of sick sense of humor! LOL). So what I am suggesting is that not only does L...

Will, From the moment a vaulters foot leaves the ground the pole begins to lean to,rotate to and a bend in the opposite direction of the vaulters top hand. This applies a force to the vaulter and effects his swing path. If this force were not present the vaulters orbit about its axis would continue ...

I respectfully disagree with your assessment of airstrike will and how I believe Lavillenie does a better job of utilizing the centrifugal forces of the poles Natural elemental rotation and uncoiling then Bubka does Will, and I believe there is a great deal to learn from it. I believe the answer to ...
