✅ FAQs

Q: Are the discuses legal for NFHS, NCAA, and World Athletics competitions?

A: Yes! All of our discuses meet the specifications required for NFHS, NCAA, and World Athletics sanctioned events.

Q: What is discus rim weight?

A: A discus is made up of three main parts: the rim, side plates, and a center core. Rim weight refers to how much of the total weight is concentrated in the outer rim—usually expressed as a percentage (e.g., 70%, 80%, 85%). The higher the rim weight, the more potential the discus has for long flight distances—but it also becomes more challenging to control.

A: A low rim weight discus (up to 70%) is easier to control and spins more slowly, making it ideal for beginners or developing throwers.The Gill S6 and S7, and Thrower X 68% rim weight discus are great options for beginners.
