The phrase you hear on repeat in the throwing circle: the wide, low stance just before release, where the energy from the glide or spin sits stored.
Coaches shout \"get into the power position\" and nobody says what it actually looks like. Concretely: after the glide you land with both feet almost simultaneously — rear leg in the middle of the circle, front leg a moment later near the toe board — wide and low. That's the point of maximum stored energy; everything before it exists only to get you there fast and low. From there the chain fires in a fixed order: leg extends, then hip, then shoulder, then arm with a final snap out of the fingers. The classic error is letting the torso join in during the glide — the tension is gone before the position even exists. And the part that surprises people: in the shot the theoretically optimal release angle is 41 to 43 degrees, yet the world's best put flatter, at 37 to 38, because release speed enters distance quadratically.
