The hammer throw world record was beaten this year . I think the hanmerthrow has a limited distance more due to the circle they can’t go outside of , so it limits the amount of spins they can do before release.

The men's WR? I didn't see that. The previous WR holder has held it since '86 and only did 3 spins...that was an incredible feat.
Do you have a link for the record being beaten this year?

Seems like if you used that hammer throw style with a long sling you could get a lot of power. With a short sling too of course but I wouldnt compare a hammer throw vs a normal arm throw. Its sort of apples and oranges.
