Originally I started power stoke with sling pointed at target. Then learned about starting power stroke early and began power stroke when sling was 90 before pointing forward. Today I was late starting and the sling was about 60 degrees before pointing forward.
Late start, sling pointed at target, average distance = 77 yards
(today) Late start, sling 60 degrees before pointing forward, average distance = 79 yards
Early start, sling 90 degrees before pointing forwards, average distance = 83 yards
Analyzing your own technique and throws is good.
And there is also no doubt that the more you can accelerate the projectile before release, the higher its speed and range, BUT
I have my doubts about the "accuracy" of measuring the degree of the backswing before the throw, if I'm being so meticulous.
And also in the fact that no other forces have influence.
Today I read about the fastest serve in tennis out of interest in comparing it to the speed of my throws.
I found there an analysis of the approach of two people with different indicators.
The image shows one of the key moments of energy transfer and the importance of STAGED stretching of the entire body, like a spring. I recommend installing the camera on the side if you are analyzing your videos.
But other external factors also play a role: wind, humidity, temperature, altitude, the condition of the ball...
