Shot Put Grip - Glide

Part of 12 minute Thrower X membership video on the proper grip of the shot discussion by Coach Scott Cappos and Coach Joe Frontier.

The wrist is bent facing upward with the shot resting on the base of the fingers. The shot is then lowered to the neck and placed near the centerline of the body under the jaw with the elbow down. The glide shot put is a linear event, keeping the shot near the center of mass will help eliminated unnecessary rotational movements associated with technical errors in the glide technique.
