 Everybody, it's Eric Johnson from AirTayThrowsNation, and in today's video we're gonna look at four throwers, and we're gonna point out a couple of interesting things. Two on the top are converting from the glide to the rotational shot, and our throwers on the bottom are gonna be more rotational shot putters. Now we have two different guys, about ones of 50 and ones of 50 plus when we look at these two, and here we're looking at about a 50 footer and a 70 foot shot putter. One of the reasons why we created the throwing chain reaction system so that you would know exactly how to find what to focus on. So there's mechanical things, and then there's gonna be things that are indicative to the athlete. Style things, mobility things. So let's break it down. We're gonna look at staying on balance. That's one of the key things. So one of the things you wanna look at is why are you off balance? That's super critical. And are you creating tension when you throw, meaning torque and whatnot? That's another simple thing. How is the body moving through the ring? And that's one of the things we talk about in our system, we talk about in our camps, you're gonna need to be able to do is understand exactly what's happening. So that, again, is the point of the six pillars. So we set up our throw in pillar one. We set the chain reaction because we're trying to create the right path. We're trying to create a movement around the entry axis, which we call the movement that's pillar two to three. And then here we look at what we talk is pillar three into four, and that's the sprint. When we have our thrower here, a 50 footer, this is another 50 footer, and this is another 50 foot shot putter, and this is a 70 foot shot putter. And what you're gonna see is that this athlete over here, he's coming around, you're gonna notice that the entry and everything really moves around. This is what we're trying to do. So we would look at this in say pillar two and pillar three. And so what we would be focusing on specifically is we wanna see the entry arm and the sweep and what's the position of the shot. So when we look at this thrower and one of the things we wanted to do is kind of have him understand the path and that entry, we're looking at that entry side. So you're gonna notice a little over rotation. This athlete's kind of turning the whole upper body with the hips. He's got some good movement. Again, just converted from the glide, but you're gonna notice the arm is a little closed. Here, the arm's a little open. You're gonna notice the arm of the 70 footer taking the long path, and you're gonna notice this guy, we're trying to teach him that fine line of how you can open the arm, but not the chest. We wanna basically understand that balance arm we're gonna be taking everything long and you're gonna see balance arm sweep leg length. And then what you're gonna see is everything shorten up and that's where we go, we call it our rewrap. That's our axis transition. So that's one of the trickiest things. You're learning how to sprint and then get onto the other leg and drive with that delivery side into the throw. And then how is your shot position, right? So we're looking at that arm now as we go through the throw. 70 foot shot putter has that elbow up, thumb down and he's maintaining a really nice movement. And you're gonna notice that our younger guys, the gliders have a little bit of the elbow transition. This kid, really nice job of creating the rewrap into his rotational throw, creating that short to create speed and help him stay over the right leg. That was really critical. And you're gonna notice here, this athlete kind of opens up a little too early. So you're gonna notice a chain reaction, right? If he opens a little early, that's gonna pull him. It's gonna be harder to get the hips ahead. And when the shoulders kind of pulling back and you're going up, that tends to lead to that dropping elbow. And you're gonna notice, dropped elbow. You can see how early the athlete loses contact with the ground, losing contact with the ground. This guy's losing contact with the ground too, but you're gonna notice that throughout most of the movement, he has a pretty nice clean push. Thumb down, elbow up. Being on balance is the big key that you wanna see. Look at the balance position of this athlete. Really nice position. Left's not really over rotated. Sweep leg out, nice wide rotational path. Whereas you look with these guys, they're kind of trailing a little bit and they're not as long. They kinda open a little bit. This guy's doing a pretty good job of pulling himself in. We get a little opening here. We're gonna control the timing of that just a touch. And here we've got too much kind of wrapping. But again, some different things going on because really new into the transition. But the key here is when we show that position, look at the elbow position, elbow, elbow, elbow, elbow. What that's gonna do is gonna be really important. So one of the clean, simple tips that you're gonna be working on is keeping the thumb down and the elbow up and level so that you can come through and hit the shot. That's one of the core tenants of the throwing chain reaction system. How do we set up good balance points, create the right types of rotational axis, all these fun things, but we make it all really pretty easy to understand by breaking the throw that one and a half seconds to two seconds into six pillars so that you can actually start to find exactly what is causing your problem. And that's the key. So hopefully today's video helps you out.
