Mental tricks

[Alan H]

In my quest to "slow down the first turn" in the LWFD I seem to have hit on a mental trick which works. I think "throw it like you throw the Heavy weight".

Dang. I go slow, I don't cast so high, and I wind up in the power position at the end of the first turn. When I do this ALL of my throws are 42-43 feet with some pushing out to maybe 45, which is a big difference from 39-40 with a ffew out to 42...which is what I get when I DON'T "think" that.

Funny, but if it works, I ain't complaining.

Great advice thanks Alan.

Funny, that is how I throw my heavy weight. I tell myself it is the light weight and try to speed it up. A great idea for a post to help others!

Ya know boys, I play a mental trick with cabers. I keep telling myself, "Its just a stick...pick it and flip the damned thing". If I don't then my brain starts doing the algebra of my weight to the caber ratio and that's NEVER a good thought:-)

Mental tricks?
Like the Scotsman that bent steel with his brain?
I think that's called a Scottish Kiss.
