Awesome post! thanks for all the links!

I also love the fact that VS Athletics are located in Torrance, CA - which is about 30 minutes from me. That means I can pick up & don't have to pay shipping :-)

And I am a rotational thrower for shotput / open stone. I have some videos from Ventura posted here: http://www.youtube.com/eclarkhb123

I'm still figuring out the proper footwear for a grass surface. At this point I'm using running shoes for stones. I have owned throwing shoes before, but it seems like that would be too slick in the grass....I have soccer turf shoes, which worked well for caber & hammer (at least until I get blades). Not sure if I'll use the turf shoes or running shoes for LWFD...
