good stuff... AD
i regret "how" i tried to explain the "physics" i was seeing, what i gained from Volkov and the French in Colombes(Abada, Vig-Qu, coach Perron') , positive and/or negative and by using the "pole vault" language of1980, does not come out correctly with the "language" and terms we use today...
"Hang"....... what i was trying to do was to get vaulters and coaches to STOP the "flip on your back"/g into a tuck and shot... at the takeoff and have a long but very fast swing.. long and fast produces more force so the vaulter can grip higher which potentially produces higher vaults..
i did say longer but did not emphasis "faster swing" until later in the article...
point two.. and ill explain later is Bell, Roberts or Tully never, never, ever tried to "push" with the left hand to bend the pole... they tried to "reach" as high as possible with the top hand and create as much "space" as possible between the pole and the chest, which meant to extend the left arm as far as possible "before" the pole tip hit the back of the box...
more later...
Kirk.. the "proof" of what you or I or Shannon were/was trying to accomplish was in the "drills" we created to accomplish the correct technique..
