Takeoff Step Calc

Unread postby Tom Wilson » Sat Apr 30, 2011 8:40 pm

Playing around and made an excel sheet to calculate take off for a given grip height for step to be not under, not out. It is at http://www.antigravitypolevaultclub.com/TakeOffStepCalc.xls Enter height vaulter can just touch on tip toes with fingers extended and grip height measured to top of grip hand from the pole tip. Not rocket science but figured others might like it.
