▁amount ▁of ▁force . ▁ ▁For ▁this ▁to ▁be ▁successful , ▁accuracy , ▁distance , ▁number ▁of ▁rot ations ▁and ▁pla cement ▁of ▁the ▁body ▁all ▁must ▁be ▁taken ▁into ▁account . ▁ ▁If ▁the ▁thro wer ▁uses ▁a ▁spin ▁technique , ▁the ▁kn ife ▁will ▁rotate ▁during ▁flight . ▁This ▁means ▁that ▁the ▁thro wer , ▁assuming ▁they ▁are ▁throwing ▁the ▁same ▁way ▁every ▁time , ▁must ▁either ▁choose ▁a ▁specific ▁distance ▁for ▁each ▁type ▁of ▁throw ▁or , ▁more ▁pract ically , ▁make ▁slight ▁adjust ments ▁to ▁the ▁pla cement ▁of ▁the ▁kn ife ▁in ▁the ▁hand ▁or ▁to ▁the ▁throwing ▁movement . ▁Another ▁adjust ment ▁that ▁can ▁be ▁made ▁is ▁the ▁way ▁the ▁kn ife ▁is ▁held . ▁If ▁it ▁is ▁held ▁at ▁the ▁bla de ▁when ▁it ▁is ▁thrown , ▁this ▁makes ▁it ▁spin ▁half , ▁whereas ▁if ▁it ▁is ▁held ▁by ▁the ▁handle , ▁this ▁makes ▁a ▁full ▁spin . ▁So ▁if ▁the ▁thro wer ▁estimates ▁he ▁needs ▁one ▁and ▁a ▁half ▁sp ins ▁for ▁the ▁point ▁to ▁hit ▁the ▁target , ▁he ▁would ▁hold ▁the ▁kn ife ▁from ▁the ▁bla de ▁when ▁it ▁is ▁thrown . ▁If ▁he ▁feels ▁he ▁needs ▁two ▁full ▁sp ins ▁for ▁it ▁to ▁hit ▁the ▁target ▁point - first , ▁then ▁it ▁would ▁be ▁held ▁by ▁the ▁handle . ▁ ▁With ▁the ▁much ▁more ▁intr icate ▁no ▁spin ▁throwing ▁techniques , ▁the ▁throwing ▁motion ▁is ▁made ▁as ▁linear ▁as ▁possible , ▁the ▁kn ife ' s ▁rotation ▁being ▁slow ed ▁down ▁even
