Going Deep - How to Throw the Open Stone 

I want to say thank you for the video's. I competed in my second games in my first year and took first over all at Rio Grande Highland Games.

Amazing tutorial mate. Thank you 😊

Thanks Matt. As I return from my health issues last year, I am drilling a ton to get ready for Tulsa. That 180 drill is on tap for Saturday

Matt, I came across your channel actually from your series with Chris Duffin (which was outstanding) I have an interest to get involved in the highland games (just turned 40 though). So coming across your channel is great. This video on the stone throwing techniques is really good. The slow motion and your break down of it is very helpful and your honesty on what you need to improve in your set up and delivery. One question I have though, I notice your throwing near the curb. Is that intentional or situational? Are you at all worried about tripping on that curb and getting homesteaded into the ground? Thanks for the videos keep them coming and for any response in advance.

One thing I've noticed when you spin is that your feet are losing the race, especially your right foot. Your right foot is turning and that's a good thing but it's turning just a little too slow. In order to get your hip fully through the throw your foot has to rotate through earlier. Your foot finishes as you release instead of a split second before it. Hope this helps and good luck dude

Thanks for putting these up!

This has definitely helped me out.

Great drills man.

Hey Matt, you single handedly got me and some buddies to start highhland games. Put your slogan "spread hate, always party" on a shirt, we'd all buy one haha

I'm just starting out but im discouraged throwing a 12.5 lb stone 25 ft. Thanks for the video

lots of power there

i prefer the open throw but im a pretty big fan of the brae throw too

Randomly saw your wall art. I used to live across the street from Max and Sherri.

Thank you sir. Cheers.

How many events do you train a day do you do all of them at once or do you do two events a day and two different events another day and for how long

the foot work is exactly like shot put and same with the block arm

why don't you do regular shot put as well

how much does an open stone weigh? thanks for theese videos, id like to implement some throwing stuff into my workouts so this is gold worth.
