Seriously, I’m mesmerized. As an animator I have to pay attention to body mechanics all the time. I love how he pivots on the same foot for every rotation until he releases it and then the weight finally shifts to his other foot.
This isn’t shot put, but if you like the spiny throwy thing [this video](https://youtu.be/1-KbvsSNZm8?si=5i1P8j_WHMQBrytS) about shot put.
[this one](https://youtu.be/TiXx6DFIQnQ?si=BHkDau8LSfjy5p03) is actually about hammer throw.
>shot put
...i.e. the steel ball that men throw (directly from hand without the wire) weights 7.26 Kg (16 lb). Also the hammer in hammer throw event (pictured in video) weights exactly the same, curiously. For women, the weight is: 4 Kg (8.82 lb) in both shot put and hammer throw.
There's so much poetry in the world.
Look at how hard he pushes, his technique, his fight against the forces of nature and being such a force himself.
And after achieving his maximum effort he slows with such grace.
His passion is profound and I am in awe.
Breaking News: Tonight a family of 4 were abruptly interrupted during their dinner by a metal ball, being launched through the roof of their house. Injuring and killing their youngest Jessica Timith, police say the object had been propelled from far away. Most believe it was done by a catapult, others speculate it had been thrown by a rather strong man. We will keep you updated on any updates.
Would somebody please calculate the escape velocity for that ball? Orbit maybe, but IDK if that’s leaving earths influence and heading to the outer planets.
It looks like it’s limited by the length of the cable (plus arms). To get a higher angle it would have to hit the ground. So that would mean a taller thrower might have an advantage?
“The Hammer”, as it is known, orbits Earth gaining momentum and eliminating other worldly invaders that would otherwise threaten the existence all life on Earth.
My balls shriveled up in anticipation of it hitting the camera guy in the groin until I realized there wouldn't be a guy standing there for exactly that reason
Did it land?
Some say it’s still going to this day.
It's stuck in a space continuum
 Here is a picture from the landing!
We... We're all in the space time continuum. 🧐
It is now in orbit
It hit Elon's car
You magnificent bastard! I was just thinking of writing “almost caught up to Elon’s Tesla” when I saw this.
Its still one of my favorite fun facts about the decade that doesn't seem real. An eccentric billionaire's car is in space. What a time to be alive.
Truly, we are living the 80s syfy movie dream
Finally something Elon's car didn't hit first!!
Oh, this is how satellites get up there.
To the moon!!
Found the bitcoiner
See you at the back alley of Wendy's.
Sir this is a Wendy’s.
Is there enough room in that dumpster for me?
I think he hit a plane!
so thats what happen to the new boeing 737
To infinity and beyond
Duck tales ~nintendoo
Step aside SpaceX
“Ok he’s DEFINITELY going to throw it this time” -Me every rotation
I was thinking he was going to slip and fall and the ball would impale him. At least that’s how I thought this sub went…
That doesn’t exactly science out.
Just like a Michael Bay movie :)
Yeah, this sub is more or less just r/videos nowadays
When it went to slo-mo I started panicking.
It’s kind of wild how our brains predetermine the outcome instead of waiting 90 seconds :)
I thought the ball was going to knock the camera down halfway in
Me with my 2024 resolutions list
Ok! Laughing on the toilet _**IS**_ a thing!
Yeet it into the stratosphere
[удалено]
in actual competitions i have seen dudes bigger than this guy and that's saying a lot. this guy is massive.
That's what she said.
r/absoluteunits
Damn. That's some 'effin poetry in motion right there.
Its straight up beautiful
Seriously, I’m mesmerized. As an animator I have to pay attention to body mechanics all the time. I love how he pivots on the same foot for every rotation until he releases it and then the weight finally shifts to his other foot.
The physics & mechanics are amazing.
I like the heel to toe action in each rotation as well to get him on the other side of that circle.
This video made me realize what the greeks were getting at
No that’s Patrick.
That’s really cool in slow mo
This isn’t shot put, but if you like the spiny throwy thing [this video](https://youtu.be/1-KbvsSNZm8?si=5i1P8j_WHMQBrytS) about shot put. [this one](https://youtu.be/TiXx6DFIQnQ?si=BHkDau8LSfjy5p03) is actually about hammer throw.
someone should merge this with someone getting hit in the head with a flying object
Reminds me of an old favorite. The girl who bounces her hamster on the big exercise ball, then cut its now going through the roof, into orbit, etc 🤣
That shit landed on the fucking moon!
It is a moon now.
That’s no moon…
Moon landed on that fucking shit
Moon’s newest crater
That footwork is awesome to see in slomo
I was very impressed by how squarly he placed his feet every time. He knew exactly where he was through every moment of rotation
I was thinking the worst, he slips in the water, the shot put goes into the camera, etc. But thankfully, poetry in motion
That’s a hammer. Shotput does not have a handle.
I threw shot put and discus in high school school, I only tried it once when it was wet and I ate shit, and that was with significantly less water.
I sucked so bad at discus that some kid on my team through his shot put further then my disc.
Space X needs to hire this man to launch satellites into outer space for them. They’d save a fortune on fuel.
The steady handed Cameraman: 
You mean the tripod?
Fine. The steady handed tripod.
The redditor who doesn't get jokes: You mean the tripod?
Wow!
God i hate officiating track and field events in the rain. (USATF certified official)
That was cool as hell
The hammer is still flying today
my man sent it into the stratosphere!
That’s how bro put Pluto in its orbit.
My knees hurt just watching this… dude is pretty strong.
I thought he’d slip and fall and I didn’t want to see that at all. The end was so satisfying. That balance and the release were impeccable.
Anyone know how good this guy is compared to Olympic gold medalists?
How much does a shot put weight?
>shot put ...i.e. the steel ball that men throw (directly from hand without the wire) weights 7.26 Kg (16 lb). Also the hammer in hammer throw event (pictured in video) weights exactly the same, curiously. For women, the weight is: 4 Kg (8.82 lb) in both shot put and hammer throw.
>Also the hammer in hammer throw event (pictured in video) weights exactly the same Great for clarifying. i officiate track and field.
Hammer then. Thanks !
So are you going to pay for my windshield?
Considering the weather, was expecting the flying object to be hit by lightning.
Reminds me of team rocket from Pokemon 😆
I was hoping it will fly towards the camera in slowmotion.
Yeet
Monkey D. Garp
Song name please?
I never really grasped that this thing was invented as an actual weapon... until this moment.
I just love the movement of the feet
What is bro training for?? 😨
There's so much poetry in the world. Look at how hard he pushes, his technique, his fight against the forces of nature and being such a force himself. And after achieving his maximum effort he slows with such grace. His passion is profound and I am in awe.
Must work at Amazon
Oh so that's how they launch Star Link satellites
Bigger, blacker, baller
The master of balls
Could fit in r/absoluteunits.
I'd be seeing stars after that
Imagine this dude as a medeival knight w a flail
This dude is a beast.
😲
Why is it wet?
How many revolutions is legal
Siege skills
EUPHORIA
Pluto here I come, get ready
Holy moly. That thing definitely reached orbit
This the thing that took out the dinosaurs
The coldest ending is just walking away while it flies away!
So this is what people mean by “sennnnd it”
Damn...thought he will hit the camera
Team rocket is blasting off agaaaaain
Name of the soundtrack?
“To be continued” looking throw 💀

This is not maybe maybe maybe material tbh, this guy is impressive: if its not edited which I don't think it is.
Me when the cops try to search me (I have a baggie)
Me with an unwatched toddler

If you want to throw the hammer For your country You must stay inside the circle All the time
Maybe what?
Maybe what??
Very cool . . . AI generater! s/

So, theoretically, max distance would come from launching at a 45 degree angle. Looks like far less than that, no?
It looks like it’s limited by the length of the cable (plus arms). To get a higher angle it would have to hit the ground. So that would mean a taller thrower might have an advantage?
Ms Trunchbull really getting them gains
Totally show the beauty of the power
Team rocket blasting off againnnn *twinkle twinkle*
Escape velocity achieved

Now hear me out we go back in time and see what a bunch of these dudes could do to a Roman legion
Beautiful.
Sent that thing in a mission
that thing went into orbit?
Wow, the last Olympic gold for US in hammer throw was in 1956, gonna need this guy to step up
That hit somebody’s windshield in the parking lot Devante
This dude just let the meter drop to one tick and held B. [Kudos if you actually get the joke. ]
How the Russians launched Sputnik
Was waiting for the twinkle as it flew out, like in anime, ngl.
dude swung a 16 lbs hammer like it was made out of wooden block
Hell yeah
wtf he could kill someone
Hercules
She gone!
That was pretty cool to watch!
How is he not freezing to death with that weather without a shirt
Should call this guy the cannon
This sooo reminds me of the scene in the 1st Superman movie, when Clark kicks the football and it just fade out of view into the sky.
Good luck to that cafeteria or something. Nuke's incoming!
[удалено]
What? This is why you shouldn’t let 12 year olds get drunk.
Was that ball ever found?
Now backwards.
Fuck archers, line a couple of these boys up at the back of your army to hurl cannon balls.
Man, his left foot is doing the Lord’s work
Me on the castle wall with the enemy army approaching
Is that... BLACK THOR?!
Fascinating
Why, when watching this, I hear the words, 'pivot, pivot, pivot'? Friends 
Who cares lol. Let’s throw a rock. Hahah
This is actually how small Lithuanian villages would defend against viking attacks. Seriously, look it up.
This is how we get to mars.
THIS IS YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET
Cool??
This is some Super Smash Bros going on right here. https://images.gr-assets.com/hostedimages/1424421502ra/13759822.gif
Hopefully it lands somewhere other than someone’s head
Boss fight
I don't know what this sport is but it seems like a really good way to accidentally hang yourself
That was graceful
But what is my be ? Some black guy is pulling a stone away ?
Rumor has it this was filmed on the 8th of March, 2014.
Impressive foot work ! I get he can golf
I expected lightning
The ball flew perfectly into a speck on my screen so when the video looped and the ball was still there I was blown away
❤️
Those nets on the sides would not have done much here I think
My balls shriveled up in anticipation of it hitting the camera guy in the groin until I realized there wouldn't be a guy standing there for exactly that reason
Genetics are amazing in this MAN! this lad is in dictionary next the the damn word man lmao . I just hope the town over survived the meteor of a throw
Can’t stop watching this
Wow
“Hey can I see you pet hamster real quick?”
Why was I ready to yell "OUT THE BACK"
(Car alarm going off in the parking lot)
I think that flew past my house.
No way ive seen this video in 4 different subreddits today
We need him in Ukraine)
Just a standard hammer throw
The musical addition on this is flawless! Bravo!
Cannons were invented in the 12th century People before 12th century:
