    I've gotta say, I actually threw almost 5 feet further after watching this video. I'm one of the shortest kids on my middle school track and field team, and I've never thrown very far, my best being 20 feet. Today I tried the reverse, and it legitimately helped. Honestly, thanks.

      Dark Shift Gamez same! Since ditching the glide I’ve gotten my PR from 34 to 41 in around half a season (as of last year)

    These are probably the best tips I've seen. I'm both a shotput and discus thrower.

      There's another UA-cam video showing Reese doing bench presses. He works with an acceloromter(?) on his arm to make sure he's maximizing the speed of his bench presses. He was pumping 325 lbs faster than I can do my warmup poundages. Amazing.

    Hey Reese, here's a couple items for discussion that apply to both the glide and spin practitioners. There's a UA-cam video that compares early Brian Oldfield when he threw 75' to his later throws when his technique was changed and his distances decreased.
    Basically, from the power position in the early Brian period, he went vertical slightly before he began his turn into the launch. In his later period, when he wasn't throwing so far, he began his turn before going vertical.
    Another comparison between Oldfield's technique and today's throwers is this - Oldfield launched WITH BOTH LEGS pushing. Today, the coaches teach to only use the right leg to turn the hips into the throw and then use the blocking leg to go vertical. The result is that the right leg stays bent and never stretches out to help push against the ground to add power to the throw.
    Of course, since Brian Oldfield's time, no one has matched his throwing distances. His reasoning, I guess, was that you can generate more power and push velocity with TWO LEGS rather than just one leg.
    Another difference I noticed with Brian Oldfield was how DEEP he was in the squat position throughout the spin. Brian was down into an almost half squat whereas most throwers today are barely into a quarter squat with knees barely bent. Is that just laziness, poor technique or what?

    I am a master athlete that just started learning shot last winter. I have only been in 3 competitions. I have no coach. My problem especially at my last meet is that 3 out of my 6 tries were considered throws and not puts. I would like to see a video of what is considered/comparison of a legal try and and foul try.
