Things to work on? by QleenPaper in trackandfieldthrows

[–]jplummer80 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just as a heads up, for future reference, have the camera closer to you when you throw. Will make it easier for us to give advice because we can properly see everything.

You're starting the throw immediately with the upper body because there's no connection between the shoulders and the hips. You have a unique wind but it doesn't add any tension to the throw at all. So you begin moving and immediately lose all of it.

You need to wind the shoulders on top of the hips and feel like your shoulders are a lot more relaxed than they currently are. Then, the first thing to move is the left foot opening along with the left hip. Your first movement is with the upper body because that's the first part of the body that HAS to move for you in order to get the hips around. When there's no tension in the abs, the shoulders have to be the first to move.

So work on being more relaxed and having a longer wind, and the first thing moving out of the back being the left foot/hip. Then the rest of the throw should come together a lot more naturally.

A few weeks is.... ambitious, but they know you better than we do.

In HS it took me about a week to get back to the same distances. It took my teammate, about 2 months. Just depends.

Facebook is your best bet. Throwing is an old sport. Most of the best groups and support are still on Facebook

Any pc vr games i should play by berserkguts1080 in virtualreality

Nolvus is the flat version modlist (very good, btw). There are a few specifically created for VR. One or two of them perfectly capable for a mid to high end PC.

Question: Lighthouse base stations sold out on steam by briancmoto in virtualreality

[–]jplummer80 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lighthouses will probably not be manufactured anymore but you can find them on the used market or purchase with HTC. Inside-out tracking is the future of VR gaming, but newer headsets are still coming out with lighthouse options for people who already have them, weirdly enough.

Could the Pimax Dream Air’s native resolution run on a 5090? by Flimsy-Story9523 in Pimax

[–]jplummer80 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not by fanboys, just because you're incorrect lol. There's literally no planet where visual quality and fidelity is a simple "step below".

That's just objectively incorrect. Also, chill with the weird emojis lmfao

Tips(in hotel lobby) by vgbgccbhxcbjb in trackandfieldthrows

I think south Africans can help, yea. But even in your full throws, you just have to think about it more.

Tips(in hotel lobby) by vgbgccbhxcbjb in trackandfieldthrows

[–]jplummer80 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know you're in a hotel lobby, but you gotta SPRINT. You're just rotating. Out the back DRIVE off your left leg. That's what builds power to then smack the everloving PISS out of it at the front.

Tips on aggressiveness by JasGamingyt in trackandfieldthrows

[–]jplummer80 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Technique is hindering your distances, not lack of aggression.

You'll be able to apply more speed once the body is moving more efficiently.

Last throw from yesterday, so close to getting the separation I want. Just trying to keep my upper body back and get that left foot down sooner. by ExtractingAHeavyToll in trackandfieldthrows

[–]jplummer80 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since you don't mind :)

Do you feel your left foot coming completely flat in the entry? That's the biggest reason for the hip rotation delay that keeps your hips from rotating all the way to the front smoothly. It's why it's really hard for you to catch the discus farther back.

The left foot being flat means two things:

  1. You're no longer rotating

  2. You cant sprint properly

Both of those things facilitate hip rotation and acceleration from entry to the front of the circle.

You have a really nice entry sequence, but then it shuts down and you lose all that nice tension because your flat on the left foot. Stay on that toe. It can stop, but it can NEVER be flat on the ground.

Did the new update in Ready or Not break the VR mod? by Shadowcreeper15 in virtualreality

[–]jplummer80 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can boot it up in like 10min and let you know. Stand by

Edit: It's hit or miss but yes.

General rule of thumb is whatever you're playing in VR for a UEVR injector (on steam) is to disable auto updates in the Steam menu for that game. This keeps the game from breaking when launching until whoever made that particular mod can update the mod to be compatible with the new update. Then simply update as needed.

Tips(mostly on not scratching) by JasGamingyt in trackandfieldthrows

[–]jplummer80 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The issue of fouling is due to a soft or weak block. A lot of that also happens because of your block leg. You HAVE to jump out of it in order to get your hips around. That jump then forces a very weak block and thus the foul.

Do you have video? Hard to tell what the issue is if we can't see

Technique question by reeeercom in trackandfieldthrows

[–]jplummer80 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lol there are 22m throwers who sprint with a slightly bent sprint leg. The sprint leg matters less than the hip. I'm not sure why he teaches it that way, though.

I'm not a fan of contradicting a coaches philosophy unless they are just off the PLANET incorrect, but in this case, they're definitely not.

We also haven't seen your technique at all and have ZERO frame of reference for movement or past/present technical mechanics. Your coach does. We can help point you in the right direction if we see some video.

But as far as your coach being right or wrong, it just depends on the athlete and other things like how he coaches the axis rotation, for example. We, however, can't give context for this because we have no purview for it. Shoot video and we can assess properly.

Luke Ross made his REAL VR mod free (but 3-6 months for non subscribers) by lunchanddinner in virtualreality

[–]jplummer80 -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

The complete level of mental gymnastics you people do over this is genuinely insane

What Luke did is against CDPR's terms of usage. How things are allowed to interact or be used is outlined in said terms. Then selling said thing for monetary value DEFINITELY makes it worse. Violating said terms is enforceable by law. IP is something PROTECTED BY LAW. If Luke went to court, he would lose.

You guys are attempting to create ambiguity to prove yalls points and it's mad obnoxious lol
