Left leg is entirely too high. Keep it low for speed and so that planting it for the release is fluid, as it is in the video the left leg is actually pushing towards the back of the ring rather than just stopping momentum from carrying him out the front.

I am a senior in high school with 5 years of throwing experience, Im 6'3", 250 lbs and my PR is 92 feet. Trust me that if your technique is off, you will never be able to throw well. I know that because I cant throw past 100 feet. I have seen skinny guys throw 120+ feet. Once you get the technique down you can start factoring in strength.

The spin is the last thing you learn, first you start off with your power position, from there you work your way to a south, then you can start working on a spin. The spin isn’t something that you’re going to get in a couple weeks, if you do it won’t be perfect. But honestly it’s really good to learn the basic maneuvers first, don’t worry that you don’t know it now, sooner or later you’ll learn it
