Jumping over top handgrip?

[WiscoVaulter]

I am from Wisconsin, and i vault 13"6' as a sophmore in high school. I am currently at the point of trying to jump over my top handgrip and would like some advice. I get inverted well and have a good takeoff. I suspect my problems may be that I need to pull stronger on top and that I hang on to the pole to long. I also have some video of me jumping my PR if that will help. The two reasons I named may not be the only problems and i can post a video if you would like to analyze it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi I can offer much advise being only a 13' jumper but I have jumped over my hand grip a few times and a strong pull on the top would seem to make sense but I could be totally wrong. But definitly put some videos up they will help the more knowledgable guys give you advise

Here is a video of my PR, also i haven't had a meet since, so it is my most recent jump.

Where are your standards at?

[WiscoVaulter]

My coach sets them for me, but they are usually in the 17-22 inch range, probably closer to 17 because this was a big pole for me.

the "average" jump height based on gri[p is one of the pieces of data included in the Six Step "MID" Chart..
