I'm just back from tonights practice and I'm jazzed. You know how you go through the motions for weeks on end and the improvement is hardly noticeable....and then sometime, you do something right and the AHA! light goes off?

Well, the AHA! happened in two events tonight.

I've always heard..."go slow in the first turn" for the HWFD, and I never really figured that out. Tonight I did that. I got the rotation started and then didn't push the weight at all. In fact I didn't "push" much at ALL through the whole throw, just sort of guided it along a little bit with some "encouragement" and dang, but if I didn't add almost THREE FEET to my distance from Sunday at Woodland.

Ohhhhh! So THAT is what it's supposed to be like! I then, basically went and did it again about four more times. YEEHAW!!

We then moved to the LWFD and I applied some of the lessons learned and dang but if I wasn't throwing ALL 39-40's with some out into almost 42 feet. 42 feet is HUGE for me.

HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM...............

I'm an OK caber tosser, not great. Well, tonight with our intermediate stick I had one toss where the timing was just right. I had a good run up, "set up", but didn't "plant"...stayed deep and drove up, hard with my quads. I've never felt a throw like that before and the stick just launched! It was a 12:00 easy and **bounced** off the ground.

Oh. So THAT is how you do it! AHA!

Now I just need to do these things over again about 50 more times to internalize them, right?
