Thanks for the markup! Does this look any better? Adding the eversion made the shift feel a lot more lateral. https://youtube.com/watch/8B58dsu64_E?feature=share

Thanks Sidewinder! I definitely think I'm lacking a quick and compact weight shift in my throw. How does my RTB look?: https://youtube.com/watch/998BPSpPpig?feature=share

Greetings! I'm checking in again with a few videos of some recent throws. I was throwing comets 250' to 300' with the same one-step before I filmed. I've been happy with the progress I've been making, but feel like something is still not jiving. Let me know what you see, thanks! Side view...

Thanks. I swung a hammer around a few times in a more upright posture and definitely see what you are talking about. Would you say I'm too bent over as if I was trying to throw the hammer on an extreme hyzer? Or just too bent over in general, especially in the knees?

I've been out of town, so I haven't been able to practice much. Got out and shot a few hammer throws. Look any better? Things I noticed were: rising into the throw too much, and spinning out on my front foot instead of staying braced. https://youtu.be/k2_KjRU7dbk

Definitely felt different. Felt like a lot more leverage on my rear leg. Could reach back further by pushing through the rear foot. Whereas before, it felt like I was hanging on the door frame from my shoulder with my feet just there to keep me upright.

Makes door frame drilling easy :cool: https://youtu.be/rzOpkcHYV0o Look any better? Is my head getting too far over the rear foot now?

You've definitely got me thinking! I'm working on your pogo drill from post 9. It's surprisingly difficult to do what you're doing at 11 secs in! Fair to say it's a similar feeling to what Paige is doing here?: https://youtu.be/2lvXcIcNGgs?t=173 But, with more emphasis on vertical force rather...

Thanks for the reply! I will give your suggestions a try tonight. I've seen the "pogo" idea in a few threads and never really understood it. Is it similar to what HUB is describing here: https://youtu.be/8UQ5j5ZUuBA?t=286 (compressing and pressing back out)? Would a good way of thinking about...

Hello I'm back! I've been doing a lot of reading on these forums, instead of posting. I want to get more serious about my form and post here more frequently. I've decided to do somewhat of a reset, with a focus on drills. Hammer Toss Drill Side: https://youtu.be/gTPMNvWTFeg Hammer Toss Drill...

Thanks guys. I'll try the windmill drill out this week. I can definitely feel the shoulder sling while doing the door frame drill, but I'm having a hard time translating it to an actual throw. Guess that's the hard part, muscle memory is killer!

Thanks Sidewinder! Doing the door frame drill help a lot. Just to make sure I understand correctly: You shift your weight onto you plant foot by essentially "sitting down" with your hips still closed and back facing the target. This happens at the apex of your reach-back, before your arm moves...

Hello! I've been working on rebuilding my backhand form. I know I have issues with getting into the power pocket. From my analysis, this originates from my lower body timing and weight shift being off. From reading the forums, I know that I need to shift my weight to my plant foot before...
