WAG What's the hardest part of vault for you/your DD? Jump, take-off, sticking it?

[katlinchen]

So would do you think, what is the hardest part of a tsuk or a yuri?

Some people say it's the jump on the table, some say it's the take-off, but most people I know think it's the landing.

In my gym, kids start learning these at L6, sometimes at L5! All of them
can do tsuks and yuris into a pit, but they usually don't do it onto mats until they are L7!

What is your guess?

Definitely landing for mine (she's been working on tsuk layouts since states). She lands on feet but takes several steps.

She tells me that when she's a little off her coaches just remind her to hit the springboard hard, block the table, and spot and she's good to go. Seems like a quick reminder to not move her feet might do the trick, but what do I know. .

Yuri seems to be more about the entry though.

I don't do those vaults I do handspring fulls but I would defiantly say the landing

I do Yurchenko vaults. Personally, the hardest part for me is getting my run powerful and consistent, but otherwise it's the form after punching on the springboard and before hitting the table.

The hardest part, everything that happens before you actually touch the vault.
