We have not seen all about the Rotational shot put possibilities and who can really knows about to morrow's concepts when the one's we actually believed in will be considered obsolete ! Of course many so called innovations are most of the time useless , but some make it through and it just needs somebody good enough to make the technique not only efficient but "famous" as people usually follow and copy the successful champions. This evolution toward a 2 turns technique in the shot put is indeed not really "revolutionary" as some athletes already try it in the discus (Australian Julian WRUCK for example) , but so far I know the idea has not been transferred into the shot put ...And indeed it can be done and it can be efficient with a proper Balance , Timing and Control. The question is not to do 2 turns just for doing 2 turns , but to take some advantage of it and use the extra rotational speed and power which can be created by an extended start , rotational path and leg swing. Our thrower is just an occasional shot putter (still managing to throw over 18m and be NZL junior champion) and this was just the very first training throws. Now we have just to wait for somebody more "famous" to be interested , try it and see what happen ! DP
