Instructions

  1. 1Throw at three-quarter distance and finish with the throwing hand outside the opposite knee.
  2. 2Check that the back foot comes off the ground and the chest finishes over the front leg.
  3. 3Add distance once the follow-through is consistent and full.
  4. 4Reset any rep that finishes upright with an abbreviated arm action.

What to focus on

A complete deceleration path that lets the throw carry with less strain.

Common mistake

Stopping the arm short and finishing upright instead of extending through.
