The run-up rhythm and the crossover steps must build momentum without swaying the torso, but the true key is the explosive blocking of the left leg and shoulder in the final strike—this transfers all force to the javelin. I say this because watching my grandson's cricket throw, I see the same principle: a strong front leg planting firmly, like a walnut tree’s roots, decides how far the stone flies. City coaches talk of arm strength, but my old back knows it’s the planted foot that bears the weight and makes the throw.
