I need One mOre Bit Of Advice
Thanks to all that replied last time but theres one more thing. I have started holding my pole all the way at the top I can get it planted ans everything but during take off It will bend then push me back any help would be nice
does it throw you back on the runway?
thats what it sounds like. i think you need to lower your grip, and work on your take off. lowering your grip will allow you to move into the pit better. you might not be gettting high enough at take off. this could cause the pole to bend and through you back.
but either way i think you should lower your grip and work on your approach and take off. good luck

You should try leaving the standards all the way back and working on getting deep into the pit on your landing before you raise your grip up too much. This will make you hit the pole hard everytime and also get you used to getting off the ground as highflyer said.
