alternate swing methods

Unread postby powerplant42 » Thu Jul 12, 2007 1:29 pm

I'm just interested in what you all have to say about different types of swing ups, shown by extraordinary vaulters like Galfione and Hartwig. Could these stranger methods be more effecient for a person with certain abilities? Just wondering.

It depends a buddy of mine is taller than me and he has a much better swing vault, I am a little shorter and more explosive, so i get away with throwing a little bit more of a tuck into my vault. Some times if i know im going to blow through a pole and i want to make a bar i can attempt to drop a leg and attempt a huffman roll.

it really just depends on the vaulter and how you were trained.
