Basic Technique for the Shot Put

By: Mark Harsha
Portage High School Girls’ Head Coach

Goal One: Shot grip and placement

1. Holding the shot

• The shot is held at the base of the fingers not the palm
• The fingers are slightly spread apart with the thumb for support.
• The hand will be bent back in the cocked position when holding the shot. It looks like you are caring a pizza.

2. Neck placement

• Raise the shot above your head
• Lower the shot straight down until it is under your jaw
• Push the shot into your neck
• Lift your elbow parallel to the floor. Don’t squeeze your elbow towards your back
• Check to see that your thumb is pointing down towards your clavicle
• The palm should be pointing towards the throwing direction
