Full details

FAQs
What age group is this discus best suited for?
The 0.4kg discus is ideal for young athletes and beginners of any age who are learning the fundamental throwing techniques.
Can this discus be used for official competitions?
No, this is a training discus designed for learning and practice. Its weight and material are not suitable for official competition standards.
How does the weight affect training?
The lighter 0.4kg weight allows athletes to focus on mastering the throwing motion and rotation without the physical strain of heavier implements, promoting better technique development.
Are the arrows for decoration only?
No, the arrows are functional guides to help athletes understand and practice the proper rotation of the discus for both left and right-handed throws.
What other throwing sports can this be used for?
Besides discus, it can be used for practicing basic rotational movements relevant to hammer throw and developing grip and initial momentum for shot-put.
How should I clean the discus?

Does this discus come in other weights?

Troubleshooting
Discus feels sticky or slippery.
Wipe the surface with a clean, dry cloth. If the issue persists, use a slightly damp cloth and allow it to air dry completely before use.
Arrows are difficult to see.
Ensure the discus is clean. The arrows are designed for subtle guidance; focus on feeling the rotation as well as seeing the marks.
Material seems to be degrading.
Check storage conditions. Ensure the discus is not exposed to excessive heat or sunlight. Clean and store as per care instructions.
