Vaulting Pole Tips
All Inclusive Vaulting Pole Tips…Everything you ever wanted to know about Pole Vaulting…
Back in 2005 USA Today published a list called, “The 10 Hardest Things To Do In Sports”, which has virtually gone unchallenged over the last few years.
In case you are wondering pole vaulting ranked number three on the list.
I don’t know about you, but I think to become great in the area of pole vaulting is really a difficult thing. That said, in my opinion any pole vaulting athlete that can even clear the bar deserves KUDOS! So for you beginning, intermediate, or even advanced pole vaulters, a big round of applause goes your way! You have just participated in one of the hardest things to do in sports!
For those pole vaulters who are still working on just clearing the bar…keep on trying, it isn’t as easy as it looks!

Vaulting Pole Tips
Want to jump higher?
This new ESSX vaulting pole tip is made of a unique engineered polymer from the World's Premier Material Formulator. The egg-shaped design creates a greater angle in the box to allow you to handle 2.2 to 4.4 lb stiffer vaulting poles which could allow for higher jump.

As I recall from watching people do it in high school, there’s NOTHING easy about it!
You’re right - Kudos to those who can.

The green pole in the video is a skypole.
The bar really doesn’t hurt that bad once you get used to it. Also…if you bend the pole, it isn’t a good idea to let go while its bending…I did that once and it hit me across the chest and it HURT.
He shouldn’t keep the pole on the ground while running down the runway…even when I first started I didn’t do that. It slows your momentum. And the pole’s all over the runway and screwing his vault up really bad.
It is decently hard, but its more of how much practice it takes than how hard it is…It took me a month to get over 4′6″ but in 2 seasons I got over 6′ twice.
