A pre-turned foot in the Braemar?

On paper, and on film, the Braemar stone throw should be the easiest of the events to master. Yet, for as simple as it looks, there are a few things to remember if you want to pop out a big stone throw. For starters, let's look at rhe set up.

(Again, I'm writing this as if I'm coaching a right- handed thrower.  So, you lefties will just need to translate/convert this in your head.)

For starters, set your feet up in a heel to toe relationship, meaning, your left foot shouldn't be in an equal stance with your right foot; your left foot should be a little behind your right foot. Now, I don't mean in a choo-choo train type of set up with your feet touching, I mean if you're feet are spaced like you're about to jump in the air).

From there, widen that stance a bit. Now, exactly how wide depends on you and your comfort (and size). But the idea is to have a wider than shoulder-width stance on this throw. Since this event doesn't allow an approach, a narrow base does little to help you transfer weight from your right leg into the throw. Now, you'll want to play around a bit with this stance and find the right distance for you, but try widening out that stance and really start working that right foot and hips.

With your feet in this orientation, rotate your upper body to the right and "coil up" as lea back over that right foot. Bend that knee! Now, here's a little tidbit I've used through the years you might try; pre-turn that right foot.

A critical key to any stone throw is getting your hips into the throw. Pushing and driving with lower half: feet to legs to hips. Since grass makes it so tough to turn that foot, give it some help and pre-turn that foot a bit and make it that much quicker of a push into the stone and out into the field.

The Braemar Stone throw is not strictly an upper body event - get that lower half involved!

    My Testimony: How DOCTOR MASAKO Helped Me Reunite with My Partner

    I want to share my testimony about the incredible help I received from DR MASAKO. I tried everything I could think of to bring my partner back, but nothing worked. He was with someone else, and I felt lost. Then, by chance, I came across a comment that led me to DR MASAKO, a kind, powerful, and skilled man who worked a miracle in my life. Thanks to DR MASAKO, my partner is back, and he loves me now more than ever. I’m incredibly happy with my life today, and I truly appreciate everything DR MASAKO has done for me. These past years had been filled with sadness, but now I’m the happiest woman on earth because of him.

    I promised Great Dr. Odunga to post this testimony and I really want to say “Thank You” to everyone who supported me through the years. My name is Manuel Franco, New Berlin, Wisconsin. My story of how I won the Powerball lottery of $768.4M is a bit of a tale. I was feeling very lucky that day because I had contacted Great Odunga to help me with the winning Powerball numbers. I really had that great great feeling that I looked at the camera wanting to wink at it. I only did a tiny part of it when he told me he would give me the numbers and trusted him. He gave me the numbers after I played a couple other tickets along with it for $10. I checked my ticket after the winnings came online and saw the numbers were correct including the Power play. I screamed for about 10 minutes because it felt like a dream coming into reality. I had won $768.4M. Thank you Great Odunga. Well, his emails are odungaspelltemple@gmail.com and odungaspelltemple@outlook.com You can also call or Whats-app him at +2348167159012 so you guys can contact him
