HAMMER THROW TECHNIQUE
There is only one basic hammer throw technique with individual variations within the technique, but the
aim is always to deliver the hammer with optimum speed and balance.
The right-handed technique will be explained in all examples used in this book.
 The hammer throwing technique is divided up into three phases: swings, turns and the throw.
 3 or 4 turns are normally used to accelerate the Hammer
The three most difficult skills for the hammer thrower to learn are:
 To keep the arms lengthened for the greatest arm radius and therefore faster hammer speed.
 To stay low to allow for leg explosion at delivery.
 To execute tight, quick turns to develop maximum speed prior to delivery.

Hammer Throwing Technique

The following sequence is written for a right-handed thrower with a three-turn throw which means that they will be entering the throw by turning to the left (anti-clockwise) and releasing over their left shoulder. Note in the examples below, 12 o’clock is the back of the circle, so the front is 6 and the athlete will turn towards 9 on entry.

Think of all throws having three phases, a beginning, middle and end and in each phase there are several sections. In the case of the following example, the beginning is the preparation swings and transition, followed by the middle (the three turns) and the end (delivery and reverse).

Within these sections are the behaviour goals we are looking to achieve in pursuit of good technique. The goal is to achieve a good core turn with the feet then to form an effective block on delivery, the rhythm needs to be smooth starting slow and building to maximum on release.

Hammer Throw: the sport
The hammer throw is a Field Athletics event where the purpose is to throw a metal ball attached to a wire and handle. The athlete recording the longest throw over a set series (usually between 3 and 6 throws) is the winner. The name "hammer throw" is derived from ancient competitions, where an actual sledge hammer, usually a metal weight attached to a cane, was thrown.

Rutgers’ Rudy Winkler Sets Out To Defend NCAA Title In Hammer Throw

Hammer throw isn’t a sport that gets a tremendous amount of attention in the sports world. Indeed, it is an anomaly in sport, in that the champions usually begin to make their mark in the late 20s and in their 30s. Rudy Winkler, who is just 23, has already made a big name for himself, breaking several records as well as competing in the Olympics. A graduate transfer to Rutgers from Cornell, Winkler is preparing to defend his NCAA title at the Track and Field Championships later this week in Eugene, Oregon. On the Banks caught up with Rudy before he headed west.

The sport developed centuries ago in the British Isles. Legends trace it to the Tailteann Games held in Ireland about 2000 BCE, when the Celtic hero Cú Chulainn gripped a chariot wheel by its axle, whirled it around his head, and threw it farther than did any other individual. Wheel hurling was later replaced by throwing a boulder attached to the end of a wooden handle. Forms of hammer throwing were practiced among the ancient Teutonic tribes at religious festivals honouring the god Thor, and sledgehammer throwing was practiced in 15th- and 16th-century Scotland and England.
