Notice Kirk changed my quote? This is what I said:
This is how kirk quoted me:
Kirk:
No Kirk not " the pole twisting to the corner of the box" I'm refering to the poles complete roation. Counterclockwise in lavelenies case.
Kirk:
Prove it!
Kirk:
In a game of centimeters every bit helps. Again Prove it! kerk!
I believe lavillenie relaxes his thumb grip with his bottom hand so that it is resting on his fingers. This also lowers his COG some but I believe he dies this mostly to allow for a more free pole rotation.

Kirk:
More useless speculation. We have already debunked the theory that "free pole rotation" (which PVDaddy thinks means the pole twisting to the corner of the box) is an important aspect of modern fiberglass vaulting. There is no scientific basis for this speculation.

Kirk:
Even if true, so what? So what if his CoM is lower for a split second?
