What’s a Joint Rush?

Last Updated on October 10, 2026 by admin

Joint rushing happens in all sports but it can really happen with light implement sports such as golf, baseball and javelin throwing. Most people can swing a baseball from one end to the other of a baseball swing. They can do so uninterrupted and that’s what we want to do in a javelin throw.

We want to avoid trying to move just a chunk of one joint like “push the hips” or “go to the block”. This can stretch and or break the motion just as it would disrupt a smooth baseball swing.
