I am hopefully going to compete level 9 next season, but I am not sure which vault I should train. Last year, I competed a tuck tsuk (level 8) and did really well with it. My coach has had all the girls my level begin to train yurchenko's. All of my teammates are already flipping into the pit, but I am still doing drills. One drill we do is a yurchenko entry with a back handspring up onto a level 4 vaulting mat. But I am really scared to do that! Once I get myself to do a couple, I will do it with no problem. I am a really powerful gymnast, but don't have the best technique. I have a nice pike tsuk and have tried layouts, but they really just look like open pikes. Last week, I began to train tsuk fulls (I think it might actually be a kaz, but I didn't think it really mattered?). I get really lost in the air when I try to twist. Does anyone have any drills for this, or have any idea of which vault I should train? I can post video's of my vaults, if needed.
