Working from right to left in the above standing throw picture sequence:
- The weight should be over the rear leg
- Hips are forward
- The feet should be in line with the throwing direction
- The throwing arm held parallel to the ground, long and relaxed with the palm uppermost
- The rear leg drives the hips to the front, transferring the weight from right to left leg
- The arm is brought in fast and last
- The elbow should be kept high and close to the head, with the javelin being thrown over the top of the head
A strong, stable grip is acquired. The grip must remain firm behind the ledge made by the binding (cord), and the javelin must run down the length of the palm and not across it. The fingers, which are not secured behind the binding, must press firmly on the javelin in order to produce a natural spin at release. The 'V' grip (C) is probably the most efficient for the novice thrower as it emphasises the supporting role of the palm. Grip 'B' is the one used by most experienced throwers.
