    Wooo-hooo!!!!

    Tonight, the LWFD went really well. I've been throwing 44-45 regularly now, my "bad" throws are now 42's. Recently 46-47 has started to be my "good-regular throws".

    Well, tonight I re-focused on something I'd been glossing over in the first turn, and HULLO! I had 6-7 throws of 47-48 feet and GET THIS..

    One total BOMB out to 52. I *Never* thought I throw LWFD, 52 feet. Here's the thing. I know WHY it went 52 feet, too. Heh, heh.

    Lotta whoopin' and hollerin' over that.

    At the very end of the workout after 2 1/2 hours of solid throwing I got out the 14.5 pound stone and incorporated a lot of the feedback I got to my "Mikes Toeboard Drills" video. Result? Eight throws well out over 30 feet, most right around 31.

    WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

    Haha, nice job Alan!
    Practiced mine tonight and finally started to get my slow-and-go down. Put about 5 or so yards on my old throw distances...until I had a bad first turn, lost my balance and had most of the handle weight rake my pinky finger, leaving a nasty blister. Oh well, price of improvement I suppose
