Troubleshooting

Foam javelin seems too light for throwing technique practice.

While designed for safety and introductory use, for slightly older children or those with more developed throwing skills, focus on the mechanics of the throw (arm speed, body rotation) rather than distance. For more advanced practice, consider a heavier training implement if appropriate and supervised.

Surface of the foam is getting dirty.

Wipe the javelin with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Ensure it is dried thoroughly before storage.

Javelin feels slightly misshapen after storage.

Allow the javelin to rest at room temperature for a short period; the foam should naturally regain its shape. Avoid storing it under heavy objects.
