I had the same problem with my vault, I fixed it by thinking more about jumping up and less jumping at it, technically the springboard is designed at an angle to send you forwards, at least this is what I have been told. Don't let a bunch of corrections confuse you, vault is definitely...

If you don't use grips now, then you probably don't need them to tryout. It shouldn't affect wether or not you make it on the team, I'm in high school gymnastics, and I don't use grips. If you do make the team I'm sure your coach will tell you if you need them. Good Luck! :)

Opps! :) I will right now.
