Reply #17 - Jul 18^th, 2018 at 6:40am The most important thing is that the preparatory stages would allow you to get to the same convenient and powerful throw, as if you just threw a stone with all your strength. Improper preparation and wrong cast.

I've used the pre-spinning.

useful if you're filming a dog with one hand and slinging a ball with the other.

But it doesn't add anything to the actual final throw.

Everyone has their own unique style.
So saying something is fig-8 - is NOT an absolute.
fig-8 is a fairly broad category: from the long sling technique to my own compact style for use in confined spaces.

I don't know why, but in my style, it's better to take the right shoulder back befor tfrow . Better is obtained swing. That's significant. With the rapid implementation of the throw, you feel two jerk shoulders - first clockwise, and then against. In FIG-8 I can't do that. Perhaps the reason is that in my style the plane of the pre - rotation and the plane of the throw do not coincide, as in FIG-8. 15 min 30 sec - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sBEgRoK2Jyo&t=930s That swing !

Unfortunately, on my question about the name of my style, I did not get an answer that would suit me. But recently I found the answer. If it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_PyN2MnBOzI called FIG-8, then my style is not FIG - 8. We can not call any vertical throw FIG - 8. Similarly, it is impossible to call all horizontal throws one term. On both screenshots the bowl of slings is in the same phase of acceleration. But in the style of FIG-8 last turn almost does not come out of the original plane. That's why I don't use the classic style of FIG-8. I have a bowl of slings strongly deviates from the back and describes a much more complex curve. And still in-style FIG-8 there is a small pause, when brush is coming to shoulders. I believe that this leads to energy losses. But this bad pause not only slows down the right hand, the torso also begins to turn late. and then you all start to scold FIG-8 for the fact that there is little energy ... Smiley FIG-8 is a flat throw.

Seemed to me that me and Jesús Vega had no significant differences. The fact that I have a long pre - rotation does not affect the technique of the finish throw. Еxperts tried to convince me that I am using FIG - 8. On FIG-8, it's not overhead, and overhead isn't FIG - 8 ! The wolf is not a dog. And the wolf is not a subspecies of the dog! If all vertical throws will be called FIG-8, then let's call the General term human and monkey. Cheesy

I tried FIG-8, but I did not like this style. Sad

Powerful throws do not work. I don't know why señor Vega gave up the classic FIG - 8 technique. But I think the reason is the same as mine.
