Enjoy all the content you have put out. Great to see you with the Throws University crew, love their work too. Keep up the great work and best of luck this outdoor season.
I think the idea of a "throw axis" existing because we can see in the photo that the specific body joints stack up on one another is misleading. The axis of rotation for the hammer-thrower system changes dynamically across the entire throw. What Sean says about the body position being in the orientation he describes : the trunk upright, left leg ( for right handed throwers!) flexed and actively rotating into turn , above the rotating heel, is sound. But the throw axis is not static, so , while it may seem to be in-line with those body parts position , that only occurs at that instant in time. As the thrower rotates and translates the system in the turn, the throw axis also moves, even though the body parts don't stay in the alignment displayed in the photo. The thrower must try to control the distance between their center of mass and the virtual throwing axis to maximize the throwing radius. This, I believe is what Sedych referred to (in one of his seminars) as "....there are hidden meters on the left side". I would not get too hung up on whether the position of body parts appears to be aligned in an "axis". Rather I would say it is VERY critical to control the plane of rotation of the hammer and to maximize the throw radius by maintaining the trunk posture and the knee /ankle rotation to allow the thrower to maintain their center of mass as CLOSE to the virtual throw axis , as possible.
yeah, this video is a few years old, my stance has since changed. I think the "left side axis" that I describe in this video (at the singular point in time) can be indicative of the system as a whole though. if that one frame is consistent turn to turn, chances are the throw itself will turn out alright
This is how I'm gonna send messages to my friend. I'm gonna make a cannon ball will a compartment and throw it to his apartment. Hopefully it doesn't kill someone lol.
Thanks for the tips! An idea for a video might be what gets sore for you after big workouts in the circle that should get sore and what shouldn't get sore. Maybe it's a newbie thing, but I imagine inappropriate soreness might be a technical clue.
Hey Sean, thanks for the vid! I have been two turning for a year now and have thrown 51m with that, however, I am transferring now to three turns and am having a hard time getting a solid finish. I either fall off the finish at the front or don't get all the way around and it goes off along the right sector line. I feel pretty comfortable with the turns right now and getting well around my left side, however, the finish is lacking quite a bit. Any tips for my three turn to hit a better position at the front for the finish?
Hello Sean, have quick question regarding the winds. I have been struggling with my winds for a while now, and it completely ruined my technique (as you know, if you start right, you finish right). The problem that i am facing is that my low point has shifted from the center to the left, and of course if the low point is at the left it means that the hammer will be ahead of the thrower during the turns and it is not possible to catch it behind. I have tried every single possible solution and nothing works, i completely lost the feeling of winding correctly. Can you please share your thoughts on this or maybe do a video to bring this subject? Thank you very much, and congrats on your Pan American Games medal!
You're right and... missing something. Let me explain that. It's funny because i left a comment on a previous video (drill for hammer learning technique czcams.com/video/Hk6R9DFsxKA/video.html which was great by the may). My comment says :" great drills but à great Technical mechanical rotation problem for,you. id like to se you do 80m. you are capable of. you dedicated. But the end of all your turn you do it with your left axis, in other word your back left shoulder drives and you fall on the right and than 's why you pull on the left and not push onto the left and missed your great delivery....like in the world cup last year. I m not à great hammerthrower (56m35) but passionate (still throwing 50 at 43 and starting coaching) and knowing à little in physic /mechanic (i am physicist ). it's just an observation and advice. up to you to use it or not. good work by the way". So it's funny because i see this video few days after my comment. Now let me add more comment if you may. To keep that left rotation axis : you need to push with your right side onto the left.(some litvinov learning to is son video to see how it looks czcams.com/video/u08PGdx7MHI/video.html) I 'm used to say, push with your right foot on the ground (and on the orbit) until it lift off to catch the good position with a strong left side. The entire system goes to the left. So that's my opinion. Keep going the good job by the may.
Thanks for Sharing, however you are not correct. If you wait for the hammer, you will never throw to your full potential. Also you mention stabilizing your left side, but you show it as, keeping the left side axis, verticle .your turning axis will always be slightly tilted to the left as you progress acrossed the circle, from the rear camera angle for a right handed thrower. You are describing a push technique in the hammer, primarily. There is another technique which has been proven much more efficient. Even in your descriptive technique, you never wait for the ball, unless you are teaching that thought on the first turn entry only. In that teaching, you are focusing on throwing the ball past the body's center and let it lead you into the first turn.
This got me pretty excited to try out tomorrow at practice
Rasta Pasta happy to help!
Thank you Sean for sharing your knowledge with us. My son learning a lot.

Revisiting this today for some knowledge.

😂😂😂😂😂 or you Can use email, it goes further😂😂😂😂😂😂
I'll try this tomorrow
Thanks for the tips!

JV Kanufan eh possibly, that’s a decent idea! All I know is that if your left shoulder is pretty sore by itself, it might not be the best sign haha
Great content! wish we could see you throw more.
check me out on instagram! @sdthrows
Nice
You’re the man. Thanks so much
Mary Moore happy to help!

Matthew Selba how you finish is a result of what goes on earlier in the throw. Chances are you are rushing the finish, be more patient
Do you recomend any drills to practice a stable right leg and no left arm pulls?
Nice Tips!!

Mohsen Anani set up the low point more to the right, perhaps
Nice job man
Nice Kota
Nice vidios
thank u

as always! haha thanks man.
@@SDthrows good name for the tip video?!.. I think so.. But I am biased..
Thank you by Japanese
👍👍

when are you going to come visit me,mom and scott at christmas

i agree, thank you for your input
