    Javelin throw is not always about strength, it's about technique and assessing the conditions around you.
    Being an amateur javelin thrower, here is how I won a second place during my school days at an athletic meet.
    I was a long distance runner, Marathon & 1500mts at both School and Zonal level meets in athletics. My team needed some points to win the title and I was asked to participate in the javelin throw event as well, I was supposed to throw the last in the order (Based on how I finished at the heats).
    There were heavy winds during that day, all the other guys were throwing against the wind very powerfully and none of thier javelin's were landing properly or were falling really short. I did the same mistake on the first few times.
    So on my last try, I simply walked to the line and threw the javelin making sure that it landed pointed downwards and threw it flat so that it doesn't get caught in the wind.
    Guess what I didn't foul, got fair distance, finished second and my team won the title.

    For all of you throwing enjoyers who want something to make throwing more fun look up the amentum javelin, putting a piece of string or small leather cord on the javelin will allow you to add spin to it or you can forego the spin and just throw 10 to 20 meters further with a string that's straight and not looped around the javelin. Throw some fletchings on the javelin for more ranged enjoyment.
    Historically javelins were commonly fletched, the fletchings just rotted away over time.

    There is some important pieces of throwing the javelin that was missed in this video. It’s more than running and gaining momentum before making your crossover. It’s been years since I’ve thrown the javelin but I still hold my high school record throwing the javelin 210 feet and I was swac champion in college 3 years in a row with my furthest throw of 220 ft with a hurt arm. I’ll try to get a hold of a javelin and make a video for those who want to learn. Just add me and wait for posting.

    There is so much wrong in this video: you NEVER want to push up with the back leg!! All energy from the run up must be directed into/against the block side to create the "bow" and develop elastic reflex to power the javelin. Following this advice is asking for poor results and likely injury.

      @ThrowJavelin  6 років тому +5

      Yes, currently the sideways throwing motion is preferred. That being said, you're not supposed to deliver the javelin with a "sidearm motion". You should deliver it in an "over the top" motion. The javelins are very light. Men's 800g, Women's 600g. They do start to feel heavier though as you throw them further.

    • @ThrowJavelin
      @ThrowJavelin  6 років тому +1

      Yes, you withdraw the javelin upon your first cross step. Pull the javelin straight back as your drive leg strides into your first cross. Make sure this doesn't open your hips completely to the side (common withdraw mistake) as this will cause a loss in tension and power. Let the upper body sit back but keep the hips facing 30-40 degrees forward until you deliver.

    Question, there are 3 hand positions for the handling of the stitching that I know of, and I was wondering what hand holding position on the stitching would you recommend?

      I would suggest either the index finger grip or the middle finger grip. They are both used among elite throwers. Also, if you're doing any ball throwing, make sure you keep your wrist straight back and try to hold it like a javelin as well.

    Can I do it without running??

      Yes, you can deliver a throw without running, just don't cross the scratch line. When you're more comfortable, try a few run up strides.
