Gill Athletics Hollowood Star Discus

Yes, the Hollowood Star is NFHS approved for high school use and the 1.0k and 2.0k models carry World Athletics certification, making them suitable for collegiate and international competition.

The side and center plates are crafted from hard maple and protected by a triple-coated sealer and gloss varnish. This finish is specifically designed to resist moisture and environmental wear, though it is always best practice to wipe it down after use in wet conditions.

The steel rim provides the necessary weight distribution to create a stable, consistent flight path. It offers a traditional feel and reliable carry, which is ideal for athletes who prefer a classic, predictable aerodynamic performance.

Wood-sided discuses like the Hollowood Star offer a traditional feel and grip that many competitive throwers prefer for better control. The combination of hard maple and a steel rim provides a specific balance of weight and aerodynamics that synthetic materials often struggle to replicate.

While the high-quality steel rim is durable and built for competition, all steel-rimmed discuses can sustain damage if thrown onto concrete or asphalt. To maintain the integrity of the rim and the flight characteristics, we recommend using this discus only on designated throwing sectors.
