If you’ve been told to “lean back more” or “throw through the handle,” this video is a must-watch. These two common coaching cues might seem helpful, but in reality, they could be stealing up to 10 meters from your javelin throw. In this breakdown, we explain why these mistakes kill distance, disrupt your rhythm, and add unnecessary strain to your body.
Too many throwers are stuck chasing big results with flawed mechanics. Whether you’re a high school athlete, collegiate thrower, or post-collegiate competitor, understanding the true mechanics of efficient javelin throwing is a game-changer.
📍 In This Video You’ll Learn:
• Why excessive lean disrupts block timing and force transfer
• How “throwing through the handle” actually leads to over-pulling
• The difference between loading the body vs. leaning the torso
• What proper hip-to-shoulder separation should feel like
• How to stay connected through the block for real power
• The biomechanical reason why these habits create energy leaks
🎯 Fixing These Issues Can Add Immediate Distance.
When your block is firm, your posture is upright, and your throw unwinds instead of pulls, you create a whip effect that’s way more powerful than muscling it. This is the kind of efficient throwing we train every day inside our Velocity Program.

💬 Let’s Be Honest…
You don’t need to be stronger. You need to throw smarter. If you’re stuck between 45–60m and can’t figure out what’s holding you back — this is probably it. Fix your posture. Connect your throw. And unlock the speed you’ve already built.
