[tripplefigures]

got me down as 43 im shocked. Threw over 48 at the woking open.

[sam]

you have got to get your information sent into them..

[slinger]

jamie it doesn't matter, just go out and top the rankings this summer that'll sort it out!!!

[Renna]

Yeh, go for it

[slinger]

do you fancy it stephan or are you too old now??? ;D

it's a good place to be, being at the top of the u/17's!!!!

slinger knows all about it!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol ;D ;D ;D

[Renna]

Hopefully, trainings been going reeli well...think itll be a gud season for u17 javelin! hopefully we can raise the standard right back up!!

[tripplefigures]

ye lol, topped with 60, that's shameful.... our year will have about 3/4 people over that coming into april. grrrrr i can feel the competition rising within me lol, u get so hungry after a year of nothing.

[slinger]

i too would get hungry after a year of eating nothing........ ;D

[sam]

this year is going to be interesting...

renna shold go 60+ although i think it will take a while to get there..
jamie should go 60+ just a matter of how much of his old hunger has returned..
Brett Byrd..we shall have to wait and see how he wintered.. i was not overly impressed with his technique last year.. if he has ironed it out it will go 60+ easily.. he is a big lad..
Bonne was close to 60m last year after a bad injury at the start of the season..

he should easily go 60+ this year and has the advantage of having several flat throws over 60m last year so he knows how to do it.. for the others every throw will be a learning curve

[slinger]

your right with the learning bit........the 700g is an odd javelin and takes abit of time to get used to, especially if you have one of the floaty ones such as the nemeth or the old apollo one, i think the eagle is similar, but i've never seen one of those........don't go for a nordic rapid 60m as they are rubbish and don't float, even if you are intending to throw 60m - go for the 80m version, yes they cost alot more but they are so much better it's untrue, i think the rapid 80 is sort of a go between before the nemeth - it's a "safe" - if cost is an issue then the simple apollo aeroflow is the one........if you don't believe they are then argue with lasher as he used one for his first UK record of 73.06m - his best with the rapid 80m was 67m.

they need to be thrown with a slight negative angle of attack, which means slightly nose down from the direction of travel from the grip and this causes lift - certainly not nose up as they just stall due to drag...........i threw the apollo as a first year and then bought the nemeth off lasher [along with his rapid 80m] that he used for the UK record [73.56m] and i remember all winter i caught one throw right and it went a long way - one throw out of hundreds!!!! and in the season i had one "perfect" throw which was at the 'schools international in dublin and in warm up it the javelin landed in with the middle of it bang on the 70m line - it was the a strange throw where it went very high but i could see the underneath of it.........which is the negative angle of attack i was talking of.............my first round in the comp wasn't as good and went 68.88m.
