that is the most common problem in throwers learning the full throw movements, and quite possibly the most difficult defect to correct. the idea that yanking the left arm around "helps" the spin can take seasons to fix, and some never fix it at all who then wonder why their distances never improve. a famous discus champion, Al Oerter told the group at my son's 1st clinic, "if your throw sucks at the end, FIX the beginning". and this simple fix will allow the rest of the throw's movements to fall into place correctly. mess up this initial step and the rest of the movement and delivery suffers.
