Its all in the reflexes

Those are not reflexes, but reactions. Reflexes are body functions you cant control, like breathing, swallowing, gagging, etc.

Probably as a challenge

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

No idea. That's incredibly incorrect. I'm assuming it's because he's drunk or the person showing him really doesn't care?

Apparently you can throw it that orientation too, refer to the second top comment

Seems more like max luck. Max strength would just smash the board, or in this case with no dexterity, the board beside it.

No you're not supposed to hold the sharp end

The way he threw that might have as well bounced back right in his nuts.

You can toss it that way, if you aim to have it land upside down. (Or bounce it off the floor, apparently) But no, it's not traditional.

8 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Not if you want to bounce one in...

8 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 0

The instructor even hands him the axe with the sharp facing the target! Like"hold it like this, then throw" so Einstein immediately turns it

8 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

Thought the lucky part was him not cutting himself until I saw the bounce.

8 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

I don't know. You should axe him.

8 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

Supposed to hold the handle like you’re shaking someone’s hand.

8 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 1

Depending on the distance it might be easier? It just changes the number of times the axe can rotate before it hits.

8 years ago | Likes 11 Dislikes 23

And don't throw the blade into your shin.

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

No, as in the blade is facing the wrong way. If axe only rotates around the obvious horizontal axis then the blunt side would hit the target

8 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 4

The first throw looks like it actually hit fairly solidly, but with the blunt side of the axe head.

8 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

It's not so much about which way the axe is facing, but more about what position the axe is when it comes in contact with the target. (1/2)

8 years ago | Likes 6 Dislikes 0

If the correct distance away, and if it's thrown correctly, the axe WILL still in the target. It will just be upside-down. (2/2)

8 years ago | Likes 6 Dislikes 0

No? The axe will be upside down when it hits, but it's still easy enough to get it to stick in the target.

8 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

No

8 years ago | Likes 7 Dislikes 8

No, @myr14d was correct. If you are the correct distance away, the axe would stick into the target upside-down

8 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 1

Do not question the master.

8 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Generally yes but he may be trying to time the spin for an upside down stick

I thought of suggesting using "shred" instead of "shed" as the right word, but "shed" is also pretty much correct. Maybe more so.

Axe blades generally aren't kept that sharp, they'd lose such a sharp edge quickly, and they aren't design to slice anyway.

Yea but it spun the other direction after bouncing off the floor.

8 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

You have to throw it 1.5 rotations that way. I run an axe throwing company. It’s more for the experts, very hard to do. Unless you’re lucky.

As someone who has done this many time, you can throw it that way. The rotation on the hatchet takes away from the blade's fwd momentum 1/2

8 years ago | Likes 31 Dislikes 0

Except it's not rotating around its intermediate axis, so it won't change orientation mid-flight.

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

but it will still stick in the target upside-down if you throw it correctly. 2/2

8 years ago | Likes 246 Dislikes 3

So it is better to throw it already facing forward?

8 years ago | Likes 45 Dislikes 0

Yes. Also much easier to anticipate the spin

8 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 0

Yes, since the head will enter the target's surface with more force
