Mark's Training Log: I may be weak, but at least I'm slow.

BTW, your hammers don't look half bad but you're short arming at the top of the arc.

Think of your arms as ropes. Their sole purpose is keep the hammer from flying away. In order for your arms to remain long at the top, you will need to lean your head back or otherwise move out of the way. This will add radius to your winds which translates into distance on the ground.

"What do we want?"
"RADIUS!"
"What do we kill for?"
"RADIUS!"

Here's a slo-mo videoclip of an 88' throw with the heavy hammer.



The thrower is still pulling in a little at the top of the arc, tho.

Here's another one. This is Canadian heavy Sean Langford aka "FrozenKilt" or "Sean" on NASGA in stop-mo with instructions.



Have fun. Throw far. In that order.
