How It Works

Calculate hammer throw distance from angular velocity and cable radius. Release velocity = omega x r. Optimal release angle: 42-44 degrees. Elite men achieve 28-32 m/s release

Each component has a specific meaning:

  • Angular velocity — The angular velocity recorded for the scenario being assessed.
  • Cable radius — The cable radius recorded for the scenario being assessed.

Note: Interpret the hammer angular velocity result against the thresholds and context described above.

How to Use

Enter the angular velocity, cable radius for the scenario you are assessing. Calculate hammer throw distance from angular velocity and cable radius. Release velocity = omega x r. Optimal release angle: 42-44 degrees. Elite men achieve 28-32 m/s release. Use the hammer angular velocity result to inform your calculation.
