JBS on Chalk Bucket forum started an important thread:
Top Injury Prevention Practices in Gymnastics Training :
We vault onto soft surfaces (resi) 100% during training
We use the JF vault table in our club because it has a more forgiving top
We use the “sweet spot” (air floor) during all floor take offs
We use tumble track for 50% of our tumbling training
We use the an extra suede beam pad
All of our optionals are required to vault with Tiger Paws

… That’s the first gym I’ve heard to make Tiger Paws mandatory on Vault. Hmm …
