.. wait.. you have a video posed at 215'.. thats 65m.. yet here you say 54-55. which you said 5 days ago..

that was an unofficial throw, i had walked out the wrong side of the runway and the offcial called it a scratch but the guys in the field measured it anyway to see what it was.

This style can tend to make a thrower stand up and throw over the top of the pivot.

All this said- I have seen many worse techniques than yours! I am assuming you're throwing mid 40m's (140ft+) at the moment?

ok thanks for the tip, so your saying to have my left arm more loose and in a cocked position? Im throwing in the 54-55mm range

watch your vid, the jav should b striaght at all times during your runup. when it comes crooked, you take power off your throw cuz you have to straighten it out. get a usual runup, keep the same thing consistant, aka draw a line, and practice the same runup, you wana run at almost a sprint then EXPLODE hips first followed by ur body then arm last. and leave about 4 feet of room so you can stop yourself. and last dont look anywhere else but down field, pick a target and launch at it

hey thanx for the tip ill keep that in mind

[bigboobazlilboobaz]

theres nothing wrong with being a rotational thrower as long as the jav is inlined right at the end of the throw as your s was

somthing simple for you a wider block left leg practice running into that left leg block harder you are going over the top far to easily try it for starters then post again ??

"cock" it back? XD

[JaVthrower31]

This is a horrible tip. Don't listen to this. If you watch any great javelin thrower, they also have the javelin angled when they cock it back. It's because your suppose to hold the javelin back as far as you can while obtaining maximum momentum. Then when you approach your ending it gives you so much more body to throw with. As long as the jav comes out right it's completely benificial.

dont need 100% of power in practice...normal and right..

[fierythornbushes]

your right arm as you pull the javelin back to throw, you pionted it to the right. keep it lined up going up past you face. keep the javelin traveling straight while in your hand.

[bodayoda]

At the moment- if you take a look at the left side (especially from this rear aspect) you see that this side dips downwards and basically robs your power side of much of its potential by easing away at the moment of strike- This is definitely counterable by drilling with the jav ball...

[bodayoda]

I'm thinking that everything technically is fine and with some 1 and three step drills over the winter you could lock out your non-throwing side to max effect and the delivery would flow through the soft-penultimate stride and meet a rigidly braced left-side--- the summoned up force of the approach would ride up and over the front from toe to knee to hip to ribs to shoulder and then spill over in a huge explosion of power>>>> BOOOOOMMM!!!! 60m +
