The Gill Hammer Conversion Circle drops into an existing discus circle and converts it to a hammer circle. If your facility runs discus and hammer out of a single circle cage, this is how you host both events without pouring a second ring.
It is built from 3/4" thick white expanded PVC in seven interlocking sections. The pieces lock together into one solid ring, go in fast on meet day, and come back out just as fast when you need the circle for discus again.
🏅 Coach Cappos Recommends
"If you don't have a dedicated hammer circle, this is the piece that gets your program into the event. Gill builds facility equipment that holds up, and the seven interlocking sections make this ring easy for one or two people to set and pull. Any school running discus and hammer out of one cage should have one."

Q: Does this work in a shot put circle?
A: No. It is designed to fit inside a discus circle and reduce it to hammer size.
Q: Is it a permanent install?
A: No. The seven sections lock together inside your discus circle and come apart for storage when you go back to discus.
Q: How does it ship?
A: The ring ships direct from Gill Athletics as an oversize item, and lead time depends on Gill's production schedule.
