The "U" shaped tube is swingingly attached to the horizontal bar by the use of velcro straps while a cloth mat is provided between the "U" shaped and the horizontal bar allowing the "U" shaped tube to swing freely around the horizontal bar. Safety wrist straps are attached to the hand grips assuring the athlete's safe grip during the training. The device provides a training tool for the swing phase of the pole vault without unnecessary delay or danger created by many repetitions of the run, pole plant, leg drive, and swing.
