10 Takeoff with Hand Drag To Bend Pole
Drive chest and hips upward and forward while allowing arms to drag back as a result of natural forces. Takeoff Angle A & B Top Arm Chest B Action Reaction Hips B Lead K nee A Takeoff Leg A & B

11 Poor Body/Pole Alignment Superb Body/Pole Alignment

Swing around top hand & flex bottom elbow & wrist to allow proper swinging action.

13 Hip Rotation Above Shoulders
Flex the bottom hand and wrist to allow hips to rise above horizontal and allow the shoulders to move under the grip.

14 Resultant Path Direction of vaulter swing.
Direction of pole lifting force. Direction of hips. Summation forces & Resultant pathway. Path of the vaulter over the crossbar. Direction of run force. Direction of pole rotation.

15 Get mid-line of body parallel with the pole.
