First catch on WFD...

I think that is what I mean.  I need feedback on the first catch point of WFD...have to work my way through this throw bit by bit.

Today I was practicing and I found a point where: I have made first spin, feet are planted, weight is coming around to furthest point back of the box....

...if I apply my forward momentum at that point I can feel myself actually  'pulling' on the weight.  I can feel my leg and arm working against the weight to pull it forward with me.

I think that is the first catch (?)

Anyway...my questions are these.  When you are starting the sprint to the trig...the lean toward the trig...the pull...(whatever)...

1) What leg are you using?  I feel all the power in my back leg (right) pushing me forward.

2) Which way is your chest facing when you do this?  I am still looking back at the weight with head and shoulders.  My feet are turned in that line, but my chest and arm are still back toward the weight.

Thanks!

From the completion of the first turn: I let my body weight/energy transfer from both feet (double support) to my left ( partial single support) and drive to the trig, my right foot/leg should be light and activated to sprint accross,and my left should be activated to whip around, hips lift and push forward. One big point however, is your left foot is floating not activated and not getting down when it does your doing the heel toe thing. It's why you want to train your feet to be reactive through various drills etc. lot of line drills. first turns and release, second turn and release, short wts, long wts, lighter and heavier when your ready. Good luck.

Ok Don, I worked on getting both feet planted.  ...(and yes I did line drills)

(I HATE HATE HATE HATE line drills...but forced myself to do em last night.)

All I can say is that they were an ego bruiser for me.  I can feel everything I am doing wrong and it was a very unsatisfying workout.  Left after that hour of practice not happy.

Hoping this get bettter. 

I'm by no means an expert (I've never hit 40 in the 56 only 38'8"),but it seems like some good points have been made so far.  Your right foot more "reacts" instead of leading the turn.  It's tough to do, but try to keep it active (staying on balls of feet).  Flat feet are hard to turn.  Also, your left side tends to collapse.  Probably due to pulling too hard too early.  My best and lowest effort throws have been when I focus on staying long and low out of the back and only lifting once I get my hips in the right direction.  I try to keep my left (I'm a southpaw) shoulder a little lower than my right.  It only really feel lower.  I'm sure that it is not actually lower.  When the hips are set and driving, then a big (almost underhanded Larry B) pull.
