We've all seen people jump over thier grip..
BUT.. what is the highest hand hold, compared to the lowest bar you've seen made with that hand hold..
example- gripping 15' and jumping over 12'..
and we all know that one person we jumped against that jumped higher than us JUST BECAUSE they held 2' higher than us
i've personally seen some people grip about 14 6 on a 15' pole jumping over 13'...
most NEGATIVE push off ever...

what you're talking about is exceptionally bad when the person just sits over the bar, never getting any sort of inversion. There's one girl in my area that has been going over 8' on average sitting over the bar, and i swear she's holding at the top of a 12' pole.
