So you need some practice equipment?

Alan H,

So the weight throws are mostly just spin and release with no pull at the end, right?
I like the Ballistica design. I can see how it would make the user focus on the hammer technique since any slack would cause the weight to come back at the user.

No, there's a pull, it's just a whole lot less than in the discus. It's hard to explain! LOL

If you're comfortable with rotational throwing, you'll get it. I would recommend starting out with the 28'er, or even 20 pounds and get reasonably comfortable with a single spin with that before moving up.
