When I first started throwing, I struggled greatly with the caber, and that’s no exaggeration. Just ask some of my fellow HASA members and they’ll tell you.. So, I did what any newbie would do - I turned to YouTube. Through my rigorous research, one man kept coming up as a dude who crushed monster cabers; legend was that there wasn't a caber this guy couldn't turn. Mike Smith is this man's name, and I quickly decided that if I want to be even pedestrian at this event (it took me five games before I even turned my first one), I had better replicate what this man was doing. His "pick" was pretty standard, but it was his carry that set him apart. Mike Smith would carry the stick so high, it was almost at shoulder level, it seemed. In each instance I saw, he made a conscience effort to get the caber positioned higher. I'm no smart man, but I did the math:
Dude turns more monster cabers than anyone
+
No one carries it like him

Now, before I describe a caber carry or even defend it, know that I'm not saying there aren't plenty of different, and successful, ways to carry a caber. I'm just explaining how I do it and how I coach it.
We've already gone over the "pick" so let's jump into the carry. Once you've gathered yourself after catching this huge toothpick, work your hands up to chest level. So, what you have now is you're holding the caber with your elbows bent and the stick tucked in tight against your neck and shoulder. It doesn't matter what side you carry the caber on (I throw right-handed but carry the caber on my left side), just that you're comfortable with the caber and feel as if you can somewhat control it … yeah, I know, I know..
I like to carry it high for a few reasons:
Less Drop - When I'm about to pull the caber and flip it, the "drop" of that caber is critical. If you jump stop your approach (don't, by the way, but again, more on that later), you're fighting yourself. The lower my carry is, the longer pull I have at the finish, and the more momentum I have to fit as I pull that stick all the way up. With a high carry, I can more easily hit that explosive finish position I want, without having to drop down in the basement to gather for a big turn.
Tight Shoulder - I want to feel in control of the caber. The higher I hold it and the tighter it is against my chest, shoulder and neck, the more control I feel that I have on it. I can pull it in closer to my body as needed for counter-balance and more easily give it a final "nudge" when it's time to pull it (more on that in another section). This all leads me to the last reason ...
Drive the Caber - I think a lot of people make the mistake of a simple mindset; don’t just run with the caber, drive it! With a high carry, I can really drive the caber - kind of like a football sled. You cannot carry a sled and run, you have to drive it forward – let’s do the same with a caber. I even go to the extreme of keeping my head down during the entire "drive" phase. In my thought process, if I can apply forward force to the caber, then I am speeding up the top end of the stick, making it that much more likely to turn.
And if you've not Googled Mike Smith by now, I've done you the favor of linking one of my all-time favorite caber tosses.
Carry on.

Supreme Asset was a lifesaver when I lost 1.million Euro to a scam platform. Their team was professional, efficient, and incredibly supportive throughout the recovery process. They worked tirelessly to retrieve my funds, and their expertise was evident every step of the way.

It’s quite unfortunate how many unlicensed and unregulated crypto investments are being used to steal crypto assets from people who don’t have an idea of how crypto works.
I was once a victim and I’m here to speak out because the pump and dump schemes made me lose $1.2M worth of crypto in November last year, and if I didn’t carry out my research together with the assistance of Morphohack Cyber Service who was able to help me withdraw my crypto after it was frozen in their crypto investment platform, my crypto assets would have been gone forever. Morphohack Cyber Service detected their price was artificially inflated only to have it drop, this is usually done to cheat customers out of their hard-earned money. If you are ever in need of a professional and reliable crypto assets recovery specialist, Morphohack Cyber Service is the best. You can rest assured that your privacy and security are protected, everything is done professionally and both parties are protected.

My whole crypto experience was very bad and I lost all my friends, family, and business associates.
It happened Summer of 2020 when I started buying crypto, and it was going smoothly until I met someone on my Dubai trip who introduced me to Crypto investing, I started with a small amount of money, two weeks in and I had already invested more than $800K as the returns were very high. The website crashed, and the exchange company stopped responding to emails and calls. This went on for months, I had to sell most of my properties, and shares to pay back loans I took, and this whole time my life was in wreck. I wouldn’t be speaking about this today if I didn’t come across HackMetrix Cyber Service, when the authorities couldn’t help me recover my crypto, HackMetrix was able to help me recover my crypto successfully. All I did was trust that they could do it and they did, I came across their post while I was reading an article online about crypto. I strongly recommend HackMetrix and I urge everyone to be cautious and consult a professional if possible before you invest in crypto. You can find HackMetrix contact information below this post
