    Techniques
    Orthodox

    Cup the "shot," or heavy ball, with your fingers and thumb along the back side of the ball.
    Place your right foot on the back of the circle, and face the right side of the circle. Stand
    with your feet a little more than shoulder's width apart.
    Stick the shot underneath your jawbone next to your neck. Keep your right elbow raised
    so the arm can push directly into your neck.
    Point your left arm upward in the direction you'll be throwing.
    Put almost all of your weight on your right leg, at the back of the circle, bending your
    knee as much as you find comfortable while keeping your balance.
    Push forward as hard as you can with your back leg, turning your hips so you face
    forward as you do so
    Extend your arm directly outward to "put" the shot.

    Disco put

    Feet slightly wider than shoulder-width


    Both knees are slightly bent, and your weight is evenly distributed.
    Grip the shot with your fingers and thumb, and press it against your neck.
    Slowly pivot onto your right foot. Turn your hips and shoulder so you are facing to your
    right (the left side of the circle). Remember to keep the elbow on your putting arm raised
    at all times.
    Rapidly pivot on your left foot, bringing your right foot swinging around over the back of
    the circle.
    Jump and land on your right foot
    Push off your right foot in the center of the circle, and continue the spin an additional
    180 (half rotation).
    Release the shot.

    Parry O'Brien

    Stand with your feet a little more than shoulder width apart, facing the right side
    of the circle.
    Turn your body and feet without changing your stance, so you are facing the
    back of the circle.
    Kick hard off your right foot, and lift both feet in the air, turning to face the right
    side of the circle. Bring them down again so your left foot is touching the toe
    board at the front of the circle.
    Immediately after landing, push off your right foot again, transferring your weight
    forward onto your left foot. Extend your back leg fully, and push the shot forward
    at about a 40 angle at the moment when your arm is facing forward.
    Complete the spin to keep your balance.

    Rules

    The athlete entering the circle, then exiting and re-entering it prior to starting the throw
    results in a foul

    Loose clothing, shoelaces, or long hair touching outside the circle during a throw, or an
    athlete bringing a towel into the circle and then throwing it out prior to the put results is a foul
    After the throw, the thrower must stay in the circle and wait for the measurement. The judges
    must determine if the throw landed inside the designated boarders, and the thrower's shoes must
    not touch the outside of the circle or the toe board.

    Measurement
    The distance of the throw is measured from the circumference of the circle along a line to the
    nearest mark made by the fall of the shot.
