Nelco Super-Spin Discus

This discus is specifically engineered for intermediate to advanced throwers. Its medium-high spin profile requires a certain level of technical proficiency to control, so beginners may find it less forgiving than a standard training discus.

An 85% rim weight means the majority of the discus's mass is concentrated on the outer edge. This creates a gyroscopic effect that helps the discus maintain stability and flight path, which is ideal for throwers looking to maximize distance.

The medium-high spin profile is designed to create a more dynamic flight path. It helps the discus cut through the air more efficiently, which can lead to better carry and distance, provided you have the technique to generate the necessary rotation.

Yes, this model is designed for competition use. It meets the necessary standards for high school and collegiate events, assuming you select the weight appropriate for your specific age group and gender category.

You should select the weight based on your competition level and age group regulations. The 1.0 kg is standard for women and high school girls, the 1.6 kg is typically used for high school boys, and the 2.0 kg is the standard for collegiate and open men's competition.
