Hi Dan, it sounds as if you have decided not to compete in the World Masters Championships. I hope you still get the opportunity to go watch some of the events, I am sure it will give you motivation to continue with your training.

Your center of gravity is way to much in the front. You need to get into a sort of sitting position and lean back. Hope that makes sence!

thank you for your videos my friend; I enjoy watching them. I've just started throwing the hammer, I'm in the M60 class too from New Zealand. Your vids are great!

I love your name, grumpythrower haha

Good luck for the competition Dan, let us know how you get on.

Great to see you throwing discus again. I can understand why you were cautious but it is clear you have the potential there to throw much further when you feel ready to do so.

Woohoo🎉🎉🎉🎉

Well Done Dan. Was the event just for Masters, or was it for other age groups as well?

Is this beautiful throwing range attached to your home?

Good job!!, Im throwing in San Deigo next sat. first time in M70

Well done Dan. I had my first M60 discus competition of the year tonight and threw 32.71m. I was second in the M60 class behind my good friend Stuart Ryan who threw 48.64m to lead the British M60 rankings.

👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Rooting for u 🎉🎉🎉

Good luck in the competition Dan, let us know how you get on 👍

Well done Dan, that looked like a good consistent session. I think sticking with two turns is a sensible idea.

🎉🎉

YOU GOT THIS!!! IAM rooting for U

Hi Dan, I think the over rotation may be caused by the fact that you tend to turn with a very straight left leg, which pushes you back away from the hammer. I know at our age that keeping the legs bent is not easy 😀 Keep working at it, I can see how you have improved over the last year or so 👍

watched your videos while look for a better glove....try staying down on the ground when you throw...you are popping up...

I am also an M60 player like you. I'm sending you a message from Japan. I suspect you are accelerating as you raise the hammer. I think if you accelerate when you swing the hammer down, you'll be able to turn more smoothly. Let's continue to do our best together.

How many mettrs sir?

Ser ju bra ut, när är första tävlingen?

There's that speedy Swedish warm up again! 😀

Hola, pierdes el equilibrio debido a que tienes el centro de gravedad demasiado alto, es mejor si las rodillas las flexionas formando un angulo de unos 45 grados. Es encomiable el empeño que pones. Mucho ánimo.

Swedish athletes certainly warm up fast! 😂

Looking good! Be careful on that wet ring 🙂

You need to lower knees your throwing posture and more relax on hands. Hammer is throwing only with legs, spine and core muscles

Good to see you back throwing again Dan👍

Haw many distance sir

Well done Dan, that looked like good progress with the 3 turns, you seemed to finish on balance on a quite a few of them which meant your delivery was good. I hope your health issues improve and you manage to get a few more outdoor sessions in before the Swedish Winter arrives!

👍

There were some better throws in that session Dan, like you said it, it was better than your last session. Keep working on it!

That looked like a tough session Dan. Just keep working on it. Break the full throw down into smaller steps and drill those until they become more natural. I am another M60 trying to learn this event, its not easy!

Good luck with your comp Dan

What do you mean M60? You look 50!

That looks like a decent stadium to throw at. Good luck for your competition.

Did look at the 5kg throws in slowmotion. I don't wait for the hammer to pass my right foot before starting the first turn, which usually leads to imbalance, as in this clip.

Changing from throwing the 7.26kg hammer (which you have done in training and competition recently) down to a 5kg and 4kg hammer will affect your timing and perhaps that's why you struggled a bit at the start of the session? You did seem to improve later in the session as you got more used to the weights again. I am competing in the M60 discus at the British Masters championships next weekend, there are 23 competitors in my event, its going to be a long competition!

The dreaded "hammer stuck in the net" 😀

😂

Well done Dan, that is a decent throw with the 7.26Kg hammer.

Wow

Good luck for your competition, let us know how you get on.

No throws in the net, I think that is progress. Yes you are over rotating on some of the throws still, mainly on your first turn but you do seem to recover the throws on your second turns. I think your throws are getting more consistent.

I think you are right, you were over rotating on most of your first turns which means you generally will over rotate on the second turn as well. The lighter hammer moves faster and I guess you will turn quicker, which means you need to ground your right foot faster to avoid the over rotation. Hammer is not an easy event 🙂

Good attitude! Overcome and continue. At our age, just showing up is a victory!

Those two throws looked quite decent, especially when you have been ill. With more time to recover you may surprise yourself at the championships. Good luck, do you best and remember to enjoy yourself !

Much more consistent with two turns, a good session, well done!

The series of hammer throws looked much better than previous sessions, much more consistent with better first turns. Well done!

I think the weight was better than the hammer in these throws. Maybe try and slow down your first turn in the hammer? Start slow and let the hammer accelerate.
