Men's Masters 50+ Hammer Throw

Yeah, all right...I know my turns suck, but those guys who've been throwing for years can never improve, whereas the novice can only get better as his technique improves. I am open to any CONSTRUCTIVE critiques and helpful tips. I know I need to turn faster....how?

Thanks Guys for the tips....I am surprised by the number of postings and the quality of advice. How do you find such average hammer throwing in the You Tube universe? My best is now 41.87m. Won the Aussie Masters M50 weight throw recently with 15.04m. Shot - 12.55m. I'll definitely be in Sacramento in 2011!

@Next50On turn faster by working heavy weighted hammers, progressively getting lighter throughout the practice session to work on form and speed simultaneously. Try an 18 or 20 lb hammer, then cut to 16, then to 14 then 12. speed will become comfortable sooner or later.

put just a bit more speed into it, more speed will allow you to lean your weight more against the hammer which allows for more tension and momentum, don't lead with your eyes or head, and squat down a bit more again for that weight against the hammer.

Release slightly earlier -- easy improvement! Nice HT, WT, SP trio!

push through 90 then release then push from 270 to 90 and work on getting a high point
