Why Rim Weight Matters for the 1.6 kg Discus

Rim weight directly affects how a discus feels and performs:

• Lower rim weights (≈70%) support control, stability, and technique development

• Moderate rim weights (≈75–80%) balance spin and consistency for competitive throwers

• High rim weights (80%+) maximize rotational energy and distance for advanced athletes

Selecting the correct rim weight helps high school throwers progress safely and effectively as strength and technique improve.

✅ FAQs

Q: Are the discuses legal for boys' high school meets, including the NFHS?

A: Yes! All of our discuses meet the specifications required for NFHS, USATF, and AAU sanctioned events.

Q: What is discus rim weight?

A: A discus is made up of three main parts: the rim, side plates, and a center core. Rim weight refers to how much of the total weight is concentrated in the outer rim—usually expressed as a percentage (e.g., 70%, 80%, 85%). The higher the rim weight, the more potential the discus has for long flight distances—but it also becomes more challenging to control.

Q: What is a low rim weight discus?

A: A low rim weight discus (up to 70%) is easier to control and spins more slowly, making it ideal for beginners or developing throwers. The Gill S6 and S7, and Thrower X 70% rim weight discus are great options for beginners.

Q: What is a moderate rim weight discus?

A: A moderate rim weight discus (typically 70–79%) offers a balance of speed and stability. It’s a great choice for intermediate or progressing athletes. The Thrower X 75% rim weight discus, Gill S8, and Fibersport Storm are great options for emerging elite throwers just starting to reach higher levels of performance.

Q: What is a high rim weight discus?

A: A high rim weight discus (80% and above) spins faster and can fly farther when thrown with proper technique. These are best suited for advanced or elite throwers with strong form and speed. The Polanik Gold Carbon, Fibersport Pro Series, and the Thrower X 83% rim weight discus are great options for elite throwers, according to Throws Pro owner, Coach Scott Cappos
