Fixing My Discus Release Angle - JY THROWS S4 E3 

Thanks for these videos man. They are really helping me find useful cues to improve positions. I competed as a decathlete back in 2004-2009 and really never progressed my technique. I could never control a full spin and used to throw off a half turn. I managed to throw 46m that way. Now, at 36yrs old I'm getting into Masters Throwing and really trying to learn proper technique. I'm nowhere near your distances, but the goal is 45m by next year. Always found it tough at 6-foot to really thrive in disc as it always seemed like the taller bigger guys gained so much with their leverage and weight. Technique will be key for me. I"m naturally very explosive and am finding that my jumping abilities really translated well into throws! Anyway, thanks so much! Where in Canada are you?

Thank you so much you made me understand how to position my feet better and how to throw it better ❤️ thank you again

Jordan, I hope I can help. Just this year I added height to my throw. I thought this would never happen because I am over forty years old and I have arthritis from years of javelin throwing. But I did it by engaging my arm at the back of the ring with my hand elevated above my shoulder level. You are being really aware of your arm position right now. So this will work well with what you are doing. I recommend setting your throwing arm higher at the beginning and actively keeping it up and engaged throughout the rotation. This will cause you to raise it as you enter single support in the center of the ring and allow you to set a more dynamic orbit.

I saw when i started throwing a bit harder moving my shoulder up some at the end of the throw helped me get tons of height and explosiveness. Not sure if that'll help you or not. Nice video by the way dude; glad you're back to dropping knowledge on us.

I'm sorry to question your advice, I want to go over the small point you made about keeping the discus and arm back too far? I learned from day one you want good torso stretch and to stay back as long as possible so when the feet run through the middle, the upper body acceleration is maximized by staying as back as long as we can .

Jordan, what is the best advice if I'm a young thrower in highschool and If want to make it big.

OK, where did that guy buy his hat!

Great video's.... but your right arm might as well be painted on. When you activate it, the discus will go

I really like your videos! Too bad you are a southpow(just kidding of course).

You may want to address shortening your movement across the ring a bit. You fouled on every throw.
