Re: [Javelin Throw Club] new member

Craig,
I too am a new member, and over the last year struggling through the learning
curve. The biggest adventure in general has been learning how to throw
something which has more differences than similarities to the other major
throwing motions (baseball and football). Have you noticed Americans don't do
too well in Javelin? The motion is different and requires motor reprogramming.
So the answer to your question is that your football throwing distance bears
almost no relation to your javelin throwing distance. If you try to throw it
the same way, please order your new arm in advance. Tim J.

Not only a new member, I'm a high jumper and triple jumper. I have
just finished my first season in 25 years. My first question to the
group is, I can still throw a pro football 50+ yards. I have never
done the javelin. I live in Co. and have no availability to throw (
don't even have javelin yet). Can anyone give me an idea of what
distance I might be able to expect? Any masters throwers on this
site? Thanks Craig
