🏅 Coach Cappos Recommends
"When every Olympic Champion since 2008 has thrown the same shot, that's not a coincidence. Between the two diameters, the 129mm is the more popular choice among elite male throwers, though some prefer the slightly smaller 125.5mm for their hand size. This is the shot put I point to when an athlete is ready for the best equipment in the world."
