A pole vault training device that works.  According to the inventor, pole vault coach Bobby Haeck, the device has been under research and development for years.  The Pole Vault Gizmo is portable and allows vaulters to work on their plant and “slot” position and the extension phase.  The device can also be used to work on the swing.  The device helps the body develop the necessary stabilizer muscles and the synoptic firing sequence needed by the body to become a great pole vaulter.  The device is portable and safe to use both indoors and outdoors. No more parents yelling “no pole vaulting inside the house”.  The Pole Vault Gizmo comes in three sizes: Gizmo Lite – for vaulters on a pole below 140 pounds, Gizmo – for most vaulters, and the Gizmo – Big Boy for collegiate, elite, and vaulters on poles over 180 pounds.  The Pole Vault Gizmo has varying resistance bands and lengths accomodating every vaulter at every level.  The pole is made of carbon fiber just like the Carbon FX, only shorter.  The resistance bands use heavy duty, extra sheathed bungy with industrial strength attachments.
