Craig is retarded strong.  He may not be the best example in this case.

My pull there was late. 

I was going fast enough to overcome that.

Being strong never hurts.

To be specific, Craig's pull was VERY late, and he made up for it with an unnatural pull.

Given sufficient forward velocity, you're much better off pulling on a vertical caber, because you're putting the work to use on the thing that's needed most, raising the center of gravity of the caber.  The forward velocity of the top of the caber causes it to actually turn.  The first time you try it, you think, "Uhoh, this isn't going to work," but then you see the caber sail over and turn.  That's the "AHA!" moment for most caber tossers.

Just to get a feel how many cabers should I turn in the offseason??  100, 50....... my good buddy never touches a caber until he is at a HG.

Two seasons ago I was on and it seemed very easy to turn the cabers.  This past year I was crazy retarded and fought every caber, well not true my first game was actually very good then waited 2 months for next games and everything went to crap.

IF you have  distinct cabers ( long tapered)  (6-inch differance in circumfrence= bottom too top) and  a DEAD STICK = no taper ( 2-feet shorter than the tapered one ) these should be good or training.  The tapered stick is a techical one. You can keep the big end backand begin the throw with pulling the small end---then plant and lift.

 The DEAD stick will require VELOCITY...get the big -end moving...plant the HIPS and SHRUG...!  GOOD LUCK on your 12o ' clocks

Have a GREAT Day !
