Yesss thank you Rowan! I am a huge fan of the Royal and I've always been wowed (and afraid) of you pulling this signature throw on us! I've asked for that tutorial for a long time and it makes my whole day! Great stuff as always. Cheers from Montreal.
Hi Rowan, recently discovered your channel and now watching everything! Great job explaining and demonstrating. The half pivot backhand is something I get beat on all the time so now I know what to watch for and also a throw I will definitely practice. Keep up the great work.
As a short player (5'8'') this is definitely one of the better throws to break a mark, even if the mark is lengthier. It's too quick to stop most of the time and starting a give and go from it is super easy. I throw more of these than 'regular' backhands in games. Even if you focus on a lower release here, I think varying the release height with the same footwork is very valuable and surprisingly easy.
Amazing point, something i do naturally but forgot to mention it here. might add the release point in a seperate video. I love the step through backhand force high release i/o to the break side!
If you pick up your knee on your leading leg then it’s more clear that you are not travelling to your opponents, as that leg would have to be down for you to have left your pivot foot. Practicing this also helps with your timing so you don’t accidentally travel and can help you accelerate out of the throw.
I love how you go through use cases with the throws. Gonna practice this one and use it in my very tiny arsenal of throws.
Thank you! Hoping to do this with a few more throw types.
Definitely gonna start practicing this, cheers Rowan
This is easily the main throw I throw, and my go to break throw

I just might have to use it next time we play there :)
@@RowanMcDonnell then I'll have to watch it from the sideline! ;)

Got here as soon as I got the notification
That’s what we like to hear!!
💯💯💯
You should do a lesson on touch throws
I love this throw. It's annoying how many people call travel when doing it though.
Hey James! Looking forward to matching up against you this year. I totally agree; lots of phantom travel calls against this one

Is the grip any different than a typical backhand grip?
Also, core strength is really important for this throw, from what I’ve found
is there some equivalent move on the forehand side.
how did you start your AUDL career? how could i follow?
I started playing for the DC Breeze. check it out at theaudl.com/
Always survive in the half spaces
This throw works better for lefties :) (as do most)
