Hi Roald, Was your 1985 standing throw of 75.00 m with the OS or NS? My son David has a pb standing of 67 m. He used to rotate a lot but not, I hasten to add, as much as you. Phil  It was with the Custum III Sorry Roald I have never heard of a 'Custum III. Is/was it OS or NS? |

the Custom III is the Held javelin. Silver with a Yellow sticker on it just below the grip.
Roald, what Phill means by NS/OS is New spec or Old Spec

The technical aspects of this thread are brilliant....ie. the comparison of technique 24 years on from the original.
However the different specifications of the javelins used make that point somewhat invalid.

The technique for throwing has not changed the javelin is the same weight and length just the center of gravity had moved. Why does that make the comparison invalid? |

i've spoken about it before but can anyone spot a problem with my throwing (just the one please) Standing throw best.. 48m.. full run up best... 54.93m Hi Sam, If you look at the series of "frame by frame" shots of you throwing the javelin at the bottom of your signature, I see that the point of the javelin is about 2 feet higher than your head. If you kept the point between your eye and your chin, then I think the javelin would go more through the point. Just a thought. Jeremy |

However, you , yourself mentioned distances thrown. There is a correlation between OS and NS but it is not exactly quantifiable. Technically what we see in the comparison vids is amazing but with different specs. it surely becomes more of a contrast. Techniques were modified with the change of spec. precisely because the C. of G. was moved forward. Were you to have video footage of you throwing the same spec Jav that would be more valid for comparison. Distances thrown are irrelevant, due to possible ageing processes (present company excepted) and technical modifications. The OS behaved rather like the 700gm javelin...a lot of throwers threw at a lower angle than the current throwers. I thought I had made it clear but there was NO invalidity in the 'evidence before our eyes'. Good Luck this weekend. Phil |
