Under/overweight implements---when?

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   For those who use off weight implements, when do you do the off weight stuff?  I usually organize my practices this way:
1.  Drills for footwork, position, and timing.
2.  Comp/legal throws.
3.  Underweight speed training.
I rarely use overweight implements.

	I would finish the practice with the competition weights. The idea, as I believe Steve Dering mentioned, is that you need to cement the lessons you learn with the underweight implements through final throws with standard-weight implements. This neuromuscular learning stuff is quite potent, so this isn't a minor point. With that said, I don't believe that it makes much difference if your underweight implements are within 10-15% of standard weight. -Wayne

	Typically, my underweight implements are about 65%. I usually only do 3 throws with the underweight stuff, unless I really uncork one...then it gets fun and I throw a few more...

	You can use them year around. See my reply on this subject in the other under/overweight string. Go to www.coacheseducation.com then into the Throws section. Patrick Wyatt wrote an excellent article on the subject. http://www.coacheseducation.com/throws/patrick_wyatt _may_o1.htm
