My dd has been doing the Yurchenko vault with a roundoff, backhandspring,tuck for her level eight vault. She hits it perfectly sometimes but is not always consistent. At her first meet he seemed to go off to the side of the horse on her back handspring. She did her tuck but corkscrewed off the table and landed on her back. Fortunatley she wasn't injured badly. she tried but could not do her second vault. She is OK now, though she has a bruised foot, which is another issue.
One of dd's coaches has diagnosed her vault problem as being in the roundoff approaching the horse. He has filmed her and worked with her and thinks he has solved the problem. He has communicated this to her new head coach. Her new coach, has acknowledged this improvement on the Yurchenko but he has chosen an alternative vault for dd to work on. I can't recall the name, but it starts out with a roundoff then a backhandspring. But as dd springs backward she twists her body around so as to spring 'forward' onto the vault table. There is no tuck on the landing.
Without a tuck, this new vault has a start value of 9.1 while the Yurchenko at level eight has a start value of 10. I'd like to see dd do the Yurchenko but want her to be safe, too. I'd like to tell her new coach, that I want him to try to continue working on the old vault to make it more consistent as opposed to abandoning it for a vault with a lesser start value. DD has gotten a 9.1 on her Yurchenko before while the new vault has a maximum of 9.1. He hasn't actually told what vault he will have her do in competition.
We have a meet this Saturday and I'm fit to be tied. What is an anxious dad to do?
DD is strong and consistent in her other events so this one obstacle is really frustrating.

Can a tuck be added to the new vault for level eight.
