I will be starting Hammer Throw training next week. I have been telling one of my students for some time that we don't want to break the chain of energy in the mass of the swinging club, as in a Hammer Throw chain.

He took it upon himself to find a Hammer coach in our area....I'm glad he did. After watching the boys and girls in action it became apparent to me that this is something I need to know more about. I come from a Discus and Shot Put background as a youngster so Field events have played a big part in my development as a golfer to this point.

Here's a video of a young Australian champion in action......then the swing I made about 30 minutes after watching this incredibly athletic action.....I felt like I was going to take off!
