 So the glide, one of the things that's tough about it, it's super, super linear. And if you don't get that linear line, right bad things are gonna happen. So what we're gonna talk about in this video is a simple way to keep your thought process on staying more linear, to reinforce that so you throw throttle. Here we go, check it out. Hey, it's Eric Johnson from AirTaker's Racing and in today's YouTube video, what we are going to discuss is the linear line of the glide. So one of the things that's super important to remember is that the glide, a simple tip to think about is that you always have to keep everything moving on that line. The shot is moving in a straight line and then it's going straight out. And that's why you see the difference in the finish between a rotational thrower and a glide shot putter. So one of the things you're gonna notice is has throwers go in gliders. Gliders tend to pull the block arm from high to low and that's where you're gonna see this type of emotion where they're here and you're gonna see that type which is allowing them to get the hip through and come through and this is why you see the finish you see. Now, if you think about it logically, we have the glide line of the shot. So that line, that shot sits, boom. And then as everything opens here, the shot putter is trying to keep that shot put back behind the knee. They're gonna pull in and they're gonna get that hip and you're gonna see that big extension. So one of the things that we address in the throwing chain reaction is obviously when we set up, we're setting up those linear lines. We wanna be real linear. Now again, we talk about something multiple times inside our membership, we teach three start styles. They're all different ways of essentially hitting the same mechanics and that's what's really important to understand. So when we sit here and we're working, we can be somebody like, like Storal who kinda starts more like this and then he does this and then he comes forward. So he leans into it like that whereas if you look at somebody like Michelle Carter, she stands tall and this is kind of more of what we teach because we think it's best for beginning gliders and then you can kinda develop the style as you continue to develop your technique as a glider and then you see somebody like Valerie Adams again, super tall. Look at Gong of China. So the point we wanna focus on today is again, keeping you understanding that you really need to be thinking about your shot. A lot of young throwers, they hit the power position, right? So once they hit here and they spin out, if I'm throwing in this direction you're gonna see their arm go low and it pulls them and they're kind of rotating into the finish, which is why if you have a glider who naturally kind of rotates out of their finish, probably a good indicator that you may wanna start to play with their arm with the rotational shot but we'll save that for another video. The key thing here we wanna focus on in today's video is to keep it simple and remember the glide is a super linear line. So if you're spinning away from your throw at the finish then you're not hitting your right high point. Again, what's going on in your chain reaction? Typically something's occurred here that's causing you to kind of shift and rotate out and so one of the natural reactions to a bad position is that if you're coming off the right you might be doing more of this type of a push instead of this, this is why we recommend in our progressions we go through simple side shuffles and we go through step backs and we go through a single leg glide and we go through these different things that we're always trying to teach how do we get that right hip under us in the middle of the throw to help keep that shot on a nice linear line. And remember, here's the thing about that I say repeatedly about the glide shot it is less technical than the rotational shot. However, huge, huge, huge, however if you mess up a couple of things the glide will eat you alive. The glide is definitely difficult to execute so it's really important that you understand how to set your chain reaction and one of the core things that's gonna help you set up a better chain reaction is that we wanna understand the position of the shot. We don't want that elbow up here we don't want a rotational shot putter carry we wanna see that elbow down low so it's gonna lead to this position and that help with that nice big linear strike to drive the delivery side into the throw and get that nice big extension into delivery. Again, simple video today, simple concept but sometimes those simple things are really the game changers that help you kinda take your technique and your train of thought into a better direction and that's the whole point here at Airtate Throwization.
