Hey Chris, I know this is a very late comment but if you're still throwing, focus on sitting directly back from the hammer. You want the ball to be directly in line with your chest and you want to keep your eyes on the ball at all times, just like every coach you've ever had throughout your life has told you. In doing so you are able to most efficiently counter the force of the hammer pulling you forward. This happens because you are "keeping up" with the hammer. To throw some simple physics in there, you want all your vectors of the forces to cancel each other out, which only can happen if the ball is directly in line with your chest. If the ball is in ahead of or behind you, there will be an imbalance of forces and you will become unbalanced. I promise that this will help you find your balance if you are able to see the hammer ball for the entire throw until you deliver it. You'll have a much more productive time trying to find "that moment" after you are able to maintain your balance. Good luck!
This is more advanced than I think I'm ready for. It's tough to think about "that moment" when I'm still unsure as to how to find my balance in the basic two turn spin. Any suggestions where to find more remedial videos would be appreciated.
I disagree, you have to push with the right side of your body to be able to create the acceleration your talking about. However to do this you need to be able to lock the right side of your body to create the hammer and athlete being one system. a locked right side allows you to get your right foot off at 90 degrees giving you every chance in the world to land your turn at around 220 degrees which becomes the start of your double support phase (2 feet on the ground). You cannot create momentum on the hammer unless you have a long double support phase and short single support phase (1 foot on the ground). The longer the double support phase, the faster you will go,
To push both feet need to be on the ground (faster your right foot hits the ground the more power you can push). It takes years to find the optimal opportunity to push, I haven't found it, but I hear its when the hammer is at its highest point of the orbit and it sort of pulls your forward
pushing comes from the upper body....this is set up in the winds and continued and sped up by catching the ball as close to the high point as possible. This early catch does not happen with too much focus on lower body. Creating the system by moving the implement and not the body and catching early rather than thinking about degrees are the ways to lengthen the hammer. radius = speed.

Awesome explanation, not a magical moment but rather a moment.

can explain the last part of the throw, like how to block and explode and standing up into it?
Can you show release strength practice
How we can make flow of hmer
Good, thanks a lot.
