So throwing vertical works better with a 2 hander because you throw straight because your arms are not pulling to the left or right. one handed should start from a horizontal position and throw over the shoulder so hand, elbow then shoulder.
Someone else commented that the vertical throw worked better because the axe wedges itself between the fibers of wood. That might be true, but I believe a far bigger effect is that of gravity. With the vertical throw, the spinning of the axe is in direct alignment with gravitational force, as opposed to that of the 45-degree throw, where it only gets about half the effect. It also may have something to do with it being easier to put power into an overhead throw than the sort of sidearm toss.
From my experience with axe throwing I think they got it right on the money with the direction of the fibers. When I use a thinner axe it doesn’t like to go into the wood unless it’s up and down. If you use a round of wood though like at a lot of axe throwing places you can stick it at any angle because you’re going top down.
YOU BEAT UP THAT butternut SQUASH.... Which is still 100% a FALL/AUTUMN ICON. Comin' in here with your pumpkin nonsense. They all GOURDS, they all fruit.
Most are targets are from end of a log. Easier to stick in. (Grew up in the woods many years ago and competed in logging festivals in the seventies) have a great day
Kratos' throwing distance being shorter than a normal dude's just goes to show how inconsistent his strengh is in the games. The thing should rip through the air like a tank shell but it appears they wanted to make this a perk and not a base ability? I know his other limitations are for gameplay purposes but still, he can't even jump in the newer games, and he could in the classics, even jump in the air😂
Its not inconsistent hes holding back and theres multiple reasons to do that , for one accuracy, two unsure if this applies to him but preserving stamina, three not wanting to break the axe , four not wanting to damage his surroundings or people he doesn’t want to hurt.
Well, one he is old, two isn’t like a huge plot point that he is my trying to just wreck everything anymore and that he finds his younger self cringe? The gameplay is supposed to be more methodical. Also, interesting , there was a god of war before god of with a dude that used a shield on a chain. I hope a dev revives it
Kratos is 6’4” so “kratos steps” might be a bit farther. Ty was throwing downhill. Ty’s a pretty strong dude having fun. The devs probably didn’t want you to start the game beaming enemies with the axe from half a mile away. Also the jumping… idk man lol you kinda cooked me on that one. 😂
Axe throwing is actually really easy and doesn't really require training. I don't know about Australia but in the US there are places you can go to throw axes just for fun and for the most part it only takes 1 or 2 throws to get the hang of it and not even that a lot of the time. First time I went axe throwing I hit the target every time. It's really not hard
The way you're going with these weapons youre gonna end up in the next soul calibur. You're just straight up good at this Ty, you can make 'em and wield 'em.
Would love to hear you and Shad discuss the value of different axe shapes and stuff. You do so much with swords and others, but I feel axes get shafted. Like, is the bearded axe best? Why or why not? That handle looked boss because of the curve in it. How does that affect handling or shock absorption? So much I want to know.
Wild guess here, but possibly the game devs based his throw distance on some real-world observations or even testing. He is considerably taller than you are, but your axe is pretty much in scale to you compared to his axe to him. Hence your throw distance, ignoring him being a deity and all, should be roughly proportional, and it is. Breaking the blade tip is not surprising at all. It looks like a relatively thin-bladed fighting axe, and axe-throwing competitors use typical thicker-bladed chopping axes that are a lot harder to break. I’ll bet a cookie that the blade is through-hardened too, making it brittle. I’m glad that the video was fun to make because it sure was fun to watch!
It’s grain of the wood problem with the two handed throws. That hardwood would make it really tough to stick one sideways. If you had cork or bails of hay you’d stick with those throws. Your rotations at different ranges were smack on! 👏😲
It is very instinctual as long as the axe is balanced like an axe should be, unlike knife throwing where they are "balanced" as opposed to being asymmetrically weighted. With an axe you can let the axe do most of the work, just kinda toss it with what you think is enough power and it will stick 9/10 times even if you have never thrown one before. Throwing knives? Yeah, no as has been demonstrated on this and Shad's channel they take far more skill/finesse, there are techniques you need to use to get them to stick. TL;DR: There is a reason axes are strength weapons in many RPG systems, you really can just use strength to make them work for you. Technique helps but is not required.
@@ShiningDarknes Ehh.. if you want good accuracy with them like you are doing darts, their is a techinque you should practice and if you want to stick with a semi dull axe. The sharper the axe the easier to stick but you rely your axe being super sharp all the time.
When you threw in the Kratos 2-handed style the axe rotated in 2 axes. That usually prevented the axe from sticking in the tree because the sideways torque twisted the blade out from the impact. For your other throws the axe almost always only rotated in 1 axis.
I think Kratos can throw the axe and embed it in someone's skull at 20 to 40 kf ( Kratos feet) and that is where is divine strength helps. Saying this it would be so fun to see you throw the axe at these distances into a target.
well when you think about it throwing a object comes down to how much force you can apply to it as an example to the strenght of kratos (or any fictional character) first throw a wooden stick as refference then a twig logically you'd imagin that you'd throw the twig further than the stick since it is lighter however that isn't the case the twig will fly segnifficantly shorter the weight of an object and densety play a huge roll in it and also the zero to apex point of contact now i just quickly come up with this comparing it with my life expiriences i do believe there should be some nerd who actually made the correct calqulations and equasions on why this phenomenon happens in physics
I think you should have given it the T.I.T.S. It would be nice to have some real world weapons as comparison. And its not like they could have not messed the Kratos axe up by being extra fancy.
When throwing an axe you want to be at six paces or a multiple of it to get ideal rotation to land blade first. Yay working at a boy scout camp when I was younger

Nice intro transition
The poor tree is like; "OWE, OWE, OWE, WHY!!!! WHY DO YOU KEEP ASSAULTING ME WITH THIS AXE?"
Nah, that tree is a masochist.
Chains, whips, twitted tipples. Loves it.
Slut.
Hide your water bottles and pool noodles, Tyranth dropped a new Screen Tested vid!
New kitchen utensil unlocked:
Tyranth, he cuts your vegetables, but you have to gather the pieces.

That noise when you threw the axe to the side was awesome! :D

Spins better vertical as well, doesn't get thrown off balance.
I kept thinking when he was swearing he was about to say “god damnit, that nearly took my fingers off”

His knees are bad! The dude is old.
Isn't Ty throwing a bit downhill though? That should give him a bit of extra distance.

It's alright the camera was looking at yuh funny I could tell.
never given someone a like for asking that way, but oh well, first time for everything. You deserve it for that!

Man these throws would have done crazy damage against medieval tax man
Love the shear excitement when it went in first time on the sidewards throw.
Axe throwing is easy, that's why people do it as a recreational activity like its an escape room or arts and crafts

Honestly amazed how well that works.
"I like the axe."
"I too like the axe."
an axe a day keeps the invaders away
I think the only reasonable conclusion is the Tyranth is basically Kratos.
After I do the spear I have to at least be a consideration right haha
He is nothing like Kratos, Tyranth has far better hair!
I really want to see Shad's reaction when you return the axe.
Great video keep the content coming!!
. 1:35 I thought you said "Getting straight into the ax-shin."
You just know shad is gonna have a field day with this
You AX-Ually make awesome content! LOL
Shoot a scene where Shad gets to see his axe returned.
I think Kratos can throw the axe and embed it in someone's skull at 20 to 40 kf ( Kratos feet) and that is where is divine strength helps. Saying this it would be so fun to see you throw the axe at these distances into a target.
That was really cool, i love GoW and axes.
9:43 😂
well when you think about it
throwing a object comes down to how much force you can apply to it
as an example to the strenght of kratos (or any fictional character)
first throw a wooden stick as refference
then a twig logically you'd imagin that you'd throw the twig further than the stick since it is lighter
however that isn't the case the twig will fly segnifficantly shorter
the weight of an object and densety play a huge roll in it
and also the zero to apex point of contact
now i just quickly come up with this comparing it with my life expiriences
i do believe there should be some nerd who actually made the correct calqulations and equasions
on why this phenomenon happens in physics
Pine spruce or cedars are awesome target woods though cedars splits if not wrap with something
10:07 10:08 😂 you almost look green screened in
I think you should have given it the T.I.T.S. It would be nice to have some real world weapons as comparison. And its not like they could have not messed the Kratos axe up by being extra fancy.
That one was on target but not enough power. All bark no bite.
When throwing an axe you want to be at six paces or a multiple of it to get ideal rotation to land blade first. Yay working at a boy scout camp when I was younger
I approve this video. Well done Tyranth!
and this is why i love axes
Ok fine, I liked the video. Good throw, you earned it.
Hey tyranth, been watching every video u have put out and am loving the content (especially the scoring system idea). Thanks for the amazing content, this channel and shadiversity both brighten my day every time I see a new video come out 😀
Thanks For watching man
Genuine question: why do you hold the axe closer to the head when you are cutting things?
Hereeeee for the AXES
Testing more so the method of throwing vs the Ax itself. 🧐
This was fun to watch
6:07 Obligatory camera strike!
Where is Shad's reaction to you showing to him what have you done to the axe?
That is a nice f***ing axe
A downhill throw? Looks that way by the camera view...
DAM FIRST TRY 😳😳😳😳🤯🤯🤯 AXS SKILLS THROW 🪓⛏️
Wow. Just upped 24 seconds ago.
Can anyone link to the axe for purchase? I looked but didn’t see.
end 13:21
GoW Mjolnir next?
What axe is this
He didn't shave his head for this one?
epic
AXE SAVAGE 🪓🪓🪓🪓🪓⛏️⛏️⛏️⛏️⛏️
I have to like the video!
No tits this time guys 😭
Sorry Shad..
Another great video of Tyranth axeing the important questions 🪓 ... I'll see myself out. 🚪
well I do have a Axe to Grind
