I finally put up some videos I recorded a month and a half ago. I had much more trouble editing these than usual, since the version I have installed of the software I used to use is now quite broken. I ended up having to use two different programs to get everything put together.

The first video is [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7GYxEXWG_OE]Greek Overhand Slinging[/url]. I previously discussed this technique in the [url=http://slinging.org/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1248149128]Vertical Greek and Figure-8[/url] post. I don't have much to add since that time, other than to note that this does not hurt my shoulder much any more (unless I overdo the first few throws).

The second video is [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3f_YEcO5B-I]Greek Underhand Slinging[/url]. The final throwing part of the throw is the same as my [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-CQPB3EJ1pI]normal underhand technique[/url] (start with hand up by year and elbow pointed back, arm mostly straight at the bottom of the throw) but the starting technique is different. The major difference is the timing. My other technique has some rotations with the wrist first, while this starts the throw right away.

I originally tried this underhand technique a few months ago, and at that time searched the forums to see if anyone else had described it. I did not find any other posts then, and thought that maybe I invented (or rediscovered) a new technique. However, a google search today turned up [url=http://slinging.org/index.php?page=slinging-styles---david-taylor]Slinging Styles - David Taylor[/url] which has a greek underhand example (with a bit more side arm than I use).

Note, I use a wide grip for overhand throws and a narrow grip for underhand throws. This tends to create back spin on both throws.

great vids. Looks like you're finally starting to fill out too - getting some good power in those throws.

Good videos Rueben. You are putting more ooomph into the Vertical Greek than I am.

I'd say so.
