Coach Cappos Recommends
"The Polanik Steel Carbon gives a high school boy the same 83% to 85% rim weight you get from Polanik's top carbon discus, with a galvanized steel rim that stands up to daily throwing. The carbon plates are thin and stiff, so more of the 1.6 kilos sits out at the rim where it belongs. For an athlete with a fast, clean release, this discus rewards good technique with real distance."
