    I saw a note on her website that she has gone to get a job so has given up. Bit sad as it was a great concept. Hopefully @Dane M. Miller and Matt Ellis do some more of there throws discussion series as they were the same concept and were very interesting.

    I am learning all the tricks so you wipe some spit on the front of your shoes before you spin. Would it be both? Does that just allow you to rotate a little faster. Someone recently told me about wipping the sole with baby wipes before you throw. Would you do this on concrete as well? For the left foot turning have a look at the finnish throw video nekkari put up. Look at this guy at the back in the winning throw. I think he looks really good even though I question whether he was touching the ring.

    Matt, see you are using rotational 6. Can you get enough grip on the wood with them. You are very colour coordinated anyway. I can see you have some sort of left knee issue however I noticed at the back you are not turning the left foot enough so it is not pointing down the left side.


    Wow royalty has spoken! Really interesting as I heard about Walsh's stand as well. I wonder if he could improve that by 10% what impact that could have on his full. I doubt he practices it as I saw his coach throwing one day and he threw 8 sa's and 8 fulls. He told me stands were not specific enough. I know from watching all your drill videos Ryan that you do practice them. I find it really interesting that your pb for full is around 30% higher than your stand as this matches my sons throwing pbs. I notice also a glider I am working with throws less than 10%further than stand so that really suggests a poor power position. Gliders should be getting 15% more. I am sure in one of Brian Oldfield's articles he said he found soon after he pbd stands that soon after he did it in full


    I have wide flat foots and adidas is slightly wider. Nike is a tremendous shoe but adidas even lasts longer(had nike for ~5000 throws adidas shows now signs of slowing down at ~6000)


    @discusmidget are you talking about adidas throwstar or adi zero? Looking for a pair for rotational shot and discus. Just worried the sole dont look as thick as Nikes

    I find it hard to believe they would have rotated to throw only 29 metres.

    Can I ask what peoples thoughts on getting the throwing closer to the crowds instead of in the middle infields as it says IOC is considering it because the crowd isn't involved. Has anyone attended one of these street meets or the hammer throw over the river?

    @Tom Walsh congratulations on the new coach Dale Stevenson. Must be handy being able to build Dale a deck to pay for your board when you are in Melbourne. I watched Dale train at Lakeside one day and his throwing consisted of 8 South Africans and 8 Fulls. He said it wasnt specific enough to do any standing throws. I have heard you only stand around 16 meters so do you bother training with that? What does your throws session actually consist of?

    If you haven't heard Primal ATC has now become Elite throws coaching. Matt has started redoing his glide videos and I reckon the following 2 are excellent for getting a much better punch
