I have been puzzled by some foot & knee action discussions lately. Personally I need to have the feet pointing more forward than normal to keep the lag pressure till impact.

But here's a video of the world's best javellin thrower. Watch his footwork. By TGM terms, javellin throwing is a hitting exersice. He has a classic foot angle in the back swing but a much more forward foot angle by the time of the release.

Maybe I have too much flexibility, but I feel that a square foot position makes it difficult to maintain the forward press that is required to stay with the lag pressure until the ball is gone.
