The release is where everything comes together in the javelin throw. You can have the speed, strength, and rhythm—but if you don’t release the spear correctly, you’ll lose distance and control. In this video, Coach Dan breaks down how to perfect your release with simple, proven drills that teach you how to throw through the point every time.

✅ Corkscrew Drill – Train forearm pronation and tip control for a sharper, cleaner release
✅ Football Throws – Learn to whip through the release and feel natural spiral mechanics
✅ 3-Position Drill – Master release timing and alignment from standing, crossovers, and full approach

By practicing these drills, you’ll develop a smoother arm path, more whip speed, and a consistent release angle that sends the javelin farther with less effort.

📌 What You’ll Learn in This Video:
• Why release mechanics determine flight efficiency and distance
• How the corkscrew drill builds precision and prevents “side pulls”
• Why throwing a football reinforces natural spiral release mechanics
• How the 3-position drill builds confidence from different approach speeds
• The connection between block leg, lead arm, and release timing
