WITD 501.11 Practice with a Tripod and Phone7 viewsUsing a phone to video two handed or even single handed whip practice will allow the whip thrower to see the whip the entire length of its travel. Asynchronous feedback provides visual learning opportunities that will aid in correcting and improving technique. The video can be watched multiple times focusing on different aspects of the throwing sequence. This is a different perspective than synchronous feedback which will be looked at in a separate video.

WITD 501.12 Two Handed Whip Lane9 viewsWatch yourself in a mirror and see how wide and long your whip lane is throwing single handed. Ideally you should be able to throw two handed whips and maintain the same lane as when throwing a single whip. So with good technique, a whip lane is a whip lane regardless of whether throwing 1 whip or 2 whips.

Future segments will focus on the backhand.

WITD 501.15 Alternating Forehands15 viewsThis two handed technique focuses on the forehand. Throw the forehand with the dominant hand and leave the whip out. Alternate and throw the forehand with the off hand or non-dominant hand and leave it out. As you throw the alternate forehand recover the dominant hand on the forehand side. Alternate between throwing a forehand right handed and left handed to do this two whip pattern with only throwing forehands.

WITD 501.20 Dynamically Grounding the Whip Throwing Two Handed7 viewsWhen throwing whips longer than 6', the whip is grounded either straight out in front of the thrower or straight out behind the thrower. However, how does one ground a short whip that is too short to reach the floor? This segment revisits dynamically grounding a short whip and demonstrates how to ground the whip when throwing two handed. It also revisits together timing, staggered timing and distributed timing and shows how simply grounding the whip achieves distributed timing.
