Quick answers on ordering, shipping, choosing the right implement, and getting expert guidance for every throwing event.

Ordering, Quotes & Purchase Orders

How do I place an order?

Order directly online at throwspro.com, or request a custom quote for team and bulk orders. Most items add straight to your cart with live shipping rates at checkout.

Do you accept school or team purchase orders?

Yes. We accept official school, club, and team POs. Submit yours through our purchase order form, or email it to scott@throwspro.com and justin@throwspro.com. Include billing and shipping info, SKUs, quantities, and your delivery deadline.

Can I get a team or bulk quote?

Yes. Request a quote with your SKUs, quantities, delivery deadline, and shipping ZIP and we will build it, including freight on large equipment.

What payment methods do you accept?

All major cards through secure checkout, plus approved school and team purchase orders.

Shipping & Delivery

How fast do you ship?

Most in-stock items ship quickly. Made-to-order, oversized, and pre-order items vary, and we provide an ETA before your order ships.

How much does shipping cost?

Standard ground shipping is weight based. Most orders under 10 pounds are $15 or less to ship within the United States. Full details, carriers, and delivery timelines are in our Shipping Policy.

Why do javelins ship at a higher rate?

Javelins require an oversized carrier due to their length. A flat shipping surcharge applies per order: $149 for 800g javelins and $49 for 600g javelins.

How are cages, toeboards, and other large equipment shipped?

Oversized gear ships by freight. Add the items to your cart or request a quote, and we will confirm freight cost and delivery timeline for your ZIP.

Pre-Orders

What does pre-order mean?

A pre-order item is in production or inbound stock. Reserve yours now and we ship it as soon as it arrives. The expected ship window is noted on the product page, and we keep you updated.

Price Match

Do you price match?

Yes. If you find the same in-stock item from an authorized retailer at a lower price, we will match it. See our Price Match Guarantee for details, or send us the link and we will take care of the rest.

Returns & Exchanges

Need to return or exchange something?

See our Refund Policy for full details, or talk to a coach and we will make it right.

Choosing the Right Implement

Every product is hand-selected by Coach Scott Cappos, and each event has a detailed selection guide. Here is the quick version.

Shot put: which weight and material?

Pick by competition weight first, then material. Common weights: high school boys 12 lb, high school girls 4 kg, college and open men 16 lb, college and open women 4 kg. Turned-iron and stainless shots suit most competitors; brass and training shots serve specific needs. See the Shot Put Selection Guide for the full materials comparison and most-popular picks by weight.

Discus: which weight and rim?

Choose by weight and rim construction. Common weights: high school girls and women 1 kg, high school boys 1.6 kg, college and open men 2 kg. High-rim-weight discs carry better for experienced throwers, while low-rim discs are easier to learn on. See the Discus Selection Guide.

Javelin: which weight and length?

Match weight and length to your level and confirm it is competition legal. Standard weights: men 800g, women 600g, with lighter youth options. See the selection guides for 800g, 600g, and Youth.

Hammer and weight throw options?

We carry training through world-class competition implements, including tungsten options for elite athletes who need a smaller diameter. See the Hammer Throw and Indoor Weight Hub for weights by level.

How do I know an implement is competition legal?

Competition-legal products are labeled on the product page and meet the specs for your governing body: NFHS for high school, NCAA for college, World Athletics for open and elite. If you are unsure, ask Coach Cappos before you buy.

Coach Scott Cappos
