Champion Sports Iron Shot Put

While this shot put is built to official weight specifications, it is primarily engineered for training and practice. Its solid iron construction is designed to withstand the high-impact repetition of daily drills rather than the specific surface requirements of competitive meets.

This shot put is designed for use in standard track and field throwing circles or designated practice areas. Using it on concrete or hard asphalt will cause the iron to chip or dent over time, so we recommend sticking to grass, dirt, or specialized throwing surfaces to maintain its integrity.

The 16 lb (7.26 kg) weight is the standard size used for men's collegiate and international competition. If you are training for a specific age group or gender category, ensure you verify the required competition weight, as youth and women's events typically use lighter implements.

Because it is made of solid iron, the surface can develop surface rust if left in damp conditions. To keep it in good shape, wipe it down with a dry cloth after use and store it in a cool, dry place away from moisture.

Yes, the solid iron construction ensures a uniform density throughout the sphere. This consistency is essential for developing proper throwing technique, as it provides a predictable feel and flight path during every repetition.
