Women xcel platinum vault sv question

[kenlynda35]

DD is barely making plat. Since 1/2 on 1/2 off SV changed, what's a front handspring or half on's SV for the 22-23 season? Thanks.

Also; what are some other viable plat vaults that aren't too difficult for a struggling gymnast...

You can see part of the new code for xcel and the first few pages are for vault. It lists each vault and start value on page 27. https://play.google.com/books/reader?id=135yEAAAQBAJ&pg=GBS.PA26&hl=en

I don't know what vaults would be easier. I assume the ones with the lower start values but I think it really depends on the individual.

 

[Coach Kate]

Handspring is a 9.7. At our gym, we prioritize the handspring twisting vaults in our progressions for excel, as they also transfer over well to the high school values in our state, and a lot of our athletes do both high school and Xcel gym. Our platinums also only train 5.5 hours per week, with the option to add a third 2h45m practice each week. Most of our platinums compete at least one handspring and then if they have a handspring 1/2 off, one of those as well. The handspring 1/2 off has a 9.9 SV and the handspring full off starts from a 10.

A handspring done well can easily outscore a mediocre twisting vault. And the foundation of a strong handspring makes the twisting off easier.

As a bonus, the handspring 1/2 off has a 9.8 SV even in Xcel diamond, and the handspring full off has a 10.0 start in diamond. So they're great progressive vaults to be working.

Half on, half-half, and handspring are all 9.7

Half on, half-half, and handspring are all 9.7

If by half-half, you mean 1/2 twist on with a 1/2 twist off, that is a 9.9.

If by half-half, you mean 1/2 twist on with a 1/2 twist off, that is a 9.9.

Oh whoops, you're correct.
