What East Coast Kubb wants you to know

How Do You Throw?

Let's talk baton throwing.

I have noticed many new throwers holding the baton in the middle and twisting the wrist for extra thrust

As these throwers become more seasoned they inch down the length of the baton.

It seems more control is had at first holding the baton mid-baton. Palm up with a direct toss to the Kubb

I think if you can manage this toss it is good for short distance but then leaves no room for additional thrust

Holding the baton at the end of the baton and spinning it end over end with a top grip gives much more thrust, however the toss needs to be much more direct.

Many different throws are possible, you must choose and practice all different types before you are satisfied and comfortable with your ability.

Keep trying different moves in different situations.

Let me know in your comments how you throw and what you think best practice is....

Throw with confidence

Happy Kubbing!

I throw about as hard at 4M as I do at 8M. Regardless of distance I want to get 1/2 a rotation, so that means I want it to spin faster at 4 and slower at 8. To achieve it, I hold it toward the middle on 8M throws and toward the end on 4's. Same grip, same power, slightly different body posture and release height.

Good point. Generally I throw the same but 4m I'll throw lower and harder. A more direct hit. Baseline Kubbs I loft at an extended apex.
