Stance & Balance

Place your front foot on the oche (the throwing line), pointed towards the board. This foot carries most of your weight and acts as your anchor.

Turn your body side-on, with your throwing shoulder facing the board. This shortens the distance between your hand and the target and improves your accuracy.

Lean your upper body slightly forward, but stay stable and still. Your lower body doesn't move during the throw — only your arm does the work.
