🥇 Why The Thrower X Discus Is Better
I designed the Thrower X discus based on decades of coaching experience, creating options that maximize performance at every stage of athlete development.
"The Pro Gold Discus is designed for experienced throwers with high release velocity. At this stage, the goal is to maximize spin potential and carry to achieve greater distance. This high-rim-weight discus rewards sound technique and release velocity while providing the performance advanced athletes need to throw farther."
"I designed this discus for athletes competing at an elite level. It offers championship-level performance at a price that allows programs to put one in the hands of every advanced thrower."

Why Choose a High Rim Weight Discus?
A high rim weight discus is built for big distance potential, but requires a fast and stable discus release.
-
Increased spin rate = greater distance
-
Precision flight = reduced wobble at high speeds
-
Demands solid technique and release velocity for best results

Why Choose a Brass Rim Discus?
Brass Higher Rim Weight Features
-
Brass is denser than steel or aluminum, allowing manufacturers to concentrate more weight at the edge.
-
This increases the rim weight percentage, which promotes a higher moment of inertia; meaning the discus stays spinning longer in the air, leading to greater distance if thrown correctly.
-
A brass rim helps the discus stay stable in wind and maintain its orientation, especially at higher speeds.
Brass rims are best suited for advanced/elite throwers with the ability to handle the faster rotational release speeds generated by higher rim weight discuses.
