Stackhouse Discus

Yes, the 1.6 kg weight is the standard size for high school boys' discus competition in the United States. This model is specifically calibrated to meet those official weight requirements.

The T65 is built primarily as a training implement. While it offers the stability and weight needed for consistent practice, it prioritizes durability for repeated field use rather than the specialized rim weighting found in elite-level competition discs.

It is designed for durability, but no discus is immune to damage from concrete or asphalt. To maintain the structural integrity and flight characteristics of the T65, we strongly recommend using it only on grass or synthetic track surfaces.

Absolutely. Its stable flight characteristics make it an excellent choice for athletes refining their form. The consistent weight distribution helps beginners focus on their release and rotation without dealing with the unpredictable flight paths of lower-quality equipment.

Minimal maintenance is required. Simply wipe it down with a clean, dry cloth after use to remove dirt or moisture. Storing it in a dedicated discus bag will help prevent nicks and scratches that can affect its aerodynamics over time.
