Take your throwing performance to the next level with a powerful Javelin Video Analysis app built specifically for iPhone and iPad. Using advanced motion analysis, the app breaks every throw into five critical phases—Approach Run, Cross-Step, Power Position, Release, and Follow-Through—giving you a complete, frame-by-frame understanding of your technique. Instantly identify how effectively you build speed, create torque, and transfer energy through the throw. With visual markers highlighting key moments—green for maximum separation, blue for optimal bracing, and red for peak release—you’ll never miss the details that matter most. Go beyond basic video playback with detailed, technique-specific metrics that turn your performance into measurable data. The app calculates hip-shoulder separation angles, bracing leg extension, elbow height, arm extension, and balance—all tailored specifically to javelin mechanics. Each phase is scored out of 10, with personalized feedback and actionable recommendations designed to improve your throw immediately. Whether you’re refining your release angle or optimizing your power position, every insight is built to help you throw farther, safer, and more efficiently. Bring your coaching to life with professional-grade drawing and annotation tools. Use freehand sketches, lines, arrows, circles, and automatic angle measurements to visually break down technique and highlight areas for improvement. Customize colors and line thickness, track movement paths, and create clear visual comparisons between throws. Combined with precise frame-by-frame controls and ultra slow-motion playback down to 0.1x speed, you can analyze every millisecond of motion and capture the exact mechanics behind elite performance. Designed for athletes, coaches, and researchers alike, the app also features manual metric tracking, athlete height and distance calibration, video library management, and seamless sharing options. Validate real javelin throws with intelligent detection, collect biomechanical data with pinpoint accuracy, and explore built-in “Learn & Train” resources covering technique, drills, and sports science. With support for both metric and imperial units and left- or right-handed athletes, this all-in-one platform delivers professional-level javelin analysis right in your pocket.

Throws AI is the first AI coach built specifically for discus throwers. Most throwers train without a real coach. You film your throws, watch them back, and guess at what's wrong. Throws AI changes that. WHAT IT DOES Film your throw. The AI breaks down your technique frame by frame, identifies what's costing you distance, and gives you a letter grade calibrated to your level — whether you're a high school freshman or a D1 thrower. You don't get generic advice. You get personal diagnostics: which leg is leaking power, which phase of the throw is rushed, what's repeatable and what's not. WHO IT'S FOR — High school throwers without a specialist coach — D2, D3, NAIA athletes whose programs lack throws-specific coaching — Post-collegiate throwers training independently — Masters throwers refining technique into their 30s, 40s, 50s+ — Anyone serious about adding distance WHAT YOU GET — Letter grade (F to A+) for every throw, calibrated to your competitive level — Specific diagnostic: which technical issue is costing you the most meters — Personalized drills written for your specific issue, not generic warm-ups — Progress tracking across the season — see your trend, not just your latest throw — Practice and meet PR tracking — Goal progress — set a target distance and see how close each throw came — Repeatability scoring — how consistent your throws are under pressure THE FOUNDER Built by Xavier Myers, a college thrower who got tired of training without real diagnostic feedback. If you've ever stood in the circle asking "what was wrong with that throw" — this is for you. PRICING Free 14-day trial. After that, monthly or annual subscription. Cancel anytime.
