For no deduction, piked Stalder should be done with feet stretched throughout and significant hip flexion.
Ragan Smith’s, for example, should be deducted for both flexed feet and lack of hip flexion.

The simplest solution for this glaring problem is what was done by FIG MTC some years ago. Devalue piked Stalders. Or consider them the same skill as a regular Stalder.
UPDATE. Overlay.
Two of the highest ever.

David has been excellent this season. Looked great at Europeans. Looked to be a man on a mission in Montreal.
His fall on Horizontal Bar in the AA final — his last apparatus — was a fluke, in my opinion.
It’s an easy, consistent release move for him. He must have been shocked not to regrasp. He couldn’t believe it happened.

Listen to the GymCastic interview.
Some will say David choked at the last minute. That’s nonsense.
Hardy Fink spoke on the difficulty of regrasping a Bar that is oscillating wildly. No gymnast is 100% on regrasp even when they are in great position in the air.
I use David as an example for gymnasts who miss a routine for reasons having nothing to do with their mental preparation. It’s NOT all mental at the highest level.

Shockingly Ashton Locklear missed her routine. The cleanest and most consistent of the field. It goes to show that anyone can fall in this sport.
Bars is easily the most entertaining apparatus at Worlds.

Tabea submitted and competed 2 new skills on Bars at #MTL2017GYM.
Here’s the Alt. I’d agree that the Alt 1 could be valued a D-part since Pak is a D and similarly does not go to handstand.
