I can never seem to have a solid plant leg, I seem to have a slight hop, or bouce on my plant leg during the throw. Anyone have any drills to help correct this.

Do you reach for the ground on that step or wait for it to come to you? Maybe try waiting for the ground to come to you with that step.

If the center of gravity of your linear momentum is ahead of your foot plant in the javelin you'll likely naturally correct it. That could explain your hop. Maybe try waiting on the plant until the ground comes to you.

I'm not an expert though. This is just a thought.

That makes sense. With my center of gravity moving forwards it seems as though I actually hop to keep from going over on my face.

I will try to remain back longer on the plant.

Thank you,

If anyone has any drills, I am all ears.
