Hi,
I'm by no means as expert as many on this HJ Forum, but in answer to your
question, I believe the answer is yes !

As a general rule, someone jumping say 1.60m should be able to scizzor
somewhere between 1.30 - 1.40.
I believe the Stephan Holms of this world scizzor over 2m, and they are
flopping up around 2.35 - 2.40.
So I'd say that you should be able to flop around 20 - 30cm higher than your
scizzor!

This is because the knee drive from the take off is such an important part
of both the scizzor and the flop.
Probably all coaches do scizzors drills with their athletes as part of their
training!
