Hey John. Been a while. One thing I'd ask you to do if you have the means is pick up a Rode wireless mic or lav mic and attach it near your collar when you can. Your voice sounds a little distant in this video. The lav mic with wireless will allow you to get clean audio from your voice. If you already know my bad. Just thought I'd point that out in case you're not aware.
Hey John, I'm a masters athlete learning the discus. I really appreciate your videos but I made the crucial mistake of NOT watching the WHOLE video and I missed the crucial information of leading with the hip. It is making a huge difference already, I am #1 in my state and top ten in the country but aiming for higher. Currently throwing 35 metres after 18 months as a 60 year old, but lack of speed is killing me. Thank you for your videos it makes a huge difference. Cheers John from Australia
@johnmilne8852 check John's video on using a throwing bar (ruclips.net/video/AJGoai-mJ4c/видео.html). It's also a way to train yourself to keep the shoulder back and lead with the hip through your spin. I'm also a master's thrower in the 65-69 age group. Enjoy and keep at it. This is such a great sport!
Ideally you should use slightly heavier not lighter. Both can throw off the actual weight by over/under compensating for the weight difference, but the heavier one slows you down a bit to hold you back more to work more on technique and typically if its heavy enough you're not going to try to throw it super far knowing you wont anyway due to the weight, but also you dont want to injure yourself trying to power a heaver disk out there. So it helps you focus on slowing down out of the back and getting your technique in. A lighter discus will tend to allow you to speed through it more. You could argue similar to sprinters who sprint downhill to train their brain that they can move that fast, that you could use a lighter discus to train yourself to spin faster, but you'll like overcompensate/rotate and throw the discus wrong out of the hand as well.

@@b3owu1f I appreciate your comment, but honestly, I kinda like that my videos are not perfect. 🙂
@@johnbowmandiscus Fair enough. Keep on getting it. Glad to see you still at it years later!
Thanks for reply

Can i use less weight discus for practice like 1.50 kg?

Yeah, you can use a lighter weight discus for training. I find that using a lighter weight implement helps with learning technique.
