Video Disccussion.
Sep 29^th, 2010 at 7:00pm

Hello all,

i dont know if anyone has seen this video but i think this is where real accuracy comes from. if you look at some of the good throwers there is still alot of power to be had in their shots. i think notable shots are ones at 0:01, 0:15, 0:20. it also seams they are holding the cords in a different fashion then we are. this is open for the general review and disccusion of all.
Very Respectfully
NavyDT

P.S

you might want to turn your speakers down, the music is annoying, sorry.

Reply #4 - Sep 30^th, 2010 at 1:56pm I think its pretty cool how they are all using baleric style yet they all do it differently with their own special addition to it. Also I noticed the best shots started out baleric style and then kinda morphed into a sidearm I will have to try that some time.

That's how I do it, with the retention loop on my middle finger.
