so yea latley i have been not able to plant my pole i feel it is off but when i go on the track and make a box outta tape and i do my run there its on any suggestions i have never had a problem with planting i used to plant if i was under or over so i dont know why im doing this?

Did you recently go up a pole or increase your steps? Usually that will cause the hesitation. Move down a hand or two...and if that doesn't work...get back on your old pole for now and see if you can get back on track. Once you do, then move back up slowly. If that doesn't work...Anytime you have mental block like that, it is a good idea to go back to the basics. You are lefty so....do several runs at 3 rights at 75% speed and when you hit those on... than go to 4 rights and so on. You'll get it back in no time. Go get em'.

I'd have to agree with retro vaulter, start close and slowly work your way back

aside from moving down you should also try slide boxes, those really help out.

is the problem the plant or your steps? if it's your plant, those suggestionas are pretty on target. if it's steps, mark out a spot so you can check if you're 'on' on each run- this will give you confidence once you reach the box.
