I'll embed the vids for you - you can quote this reply to see how I did it. I'll let more experienced guys reply on the technique - you're throwing those farther than me already

Also... What is the learning curve for boot blades? I threw with them for the first time this past week and my throws were about 10% less on average!!

Thanks for the help,

Respectfully,
Jon

Depends on the guy.

They aren't "put them on and instantly throw further". You've got to get comfortable with them. Figure out how to kick in, how to kick out, fan or not fan. Lots of stuff. Very individual.
