🥇 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."

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.
