Javalign covers 7 key aspects of proper javelin training!
1. Strength Training At 1050 grams, the Javalign provides enough extra mass for light strength training without wearing out your arm and body with excessive weight. Controlled repetitions will make you stronger in all the right areas.
2. Stretching The Javalign on the cable allows the athlete to stretch their throwing arm in the proper back position prior to hip rotation getting in good stretching that is essential for javelin throwers.
3. Arm Speed Quickness and arm speed is very important when transferring body energy into the javelin. The Javalign provides a way to work on arm speed while not compromising Release Angle and maintaining good Angle of Attack.
4. Release Angle With a pre-set Release Angle, repetitive throws on the wire rope cable reinforce the needed muscle memory for optimal javelin trajectories.
5. Angle of Attack The Javalign provides instant feedback on the throwers Angle of Attack. A smooth glide of the Javalign up the cable is an indicator of a good Angle of Attack. Oscillations of the wire rope cable indicate a poor Angle of Attack.
6. Rotation The custom designed fins on the Javalign provide instant visual feedback of good javelin rotation.
7. Shoulder before Elbow The Javalign provides an excellent platform to ensure that the elbow follows the shoulder while the body rotates and energy is passed from the torso to the hand. A common break in load path is when the elbow is thrown before the shoulder creating an instant break in the energy load path. With the help of a training partner or smart phone slow motion video, an athlete can make sure they have a uninterrupted energy load path from hips to hand.
