Thumber and Tomahawk help?

You're not bringing it over your head enough, like in my previous post toms should be released about 10-11 o'clock if your head is 12. Sounds like you're releasing at 1-2 o'clock which is effectively a forehand roller but thrown higher.

Fair enough. Looks like I have to watch some Matt Dollar tourney footage more closely.

power comes from the legs and hips, in any throw. Often left out of overhead shot talk. Bad footwork will hurt your shoulders and elbows.

bend your knees and follow through, GL.

*Old and Flat footed beware the overheads*

So, is that a jump shot?

When I am throwing a tommy I think of it more like this (0:25 - 1:25): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JuS6DimRH4s

It is a lateral movement, you are trying to throw your weight forward into the throw.
