Description
Overview
The Vinex Cast 5 kg shot is the cast iron option in the Vinex range of shotput implements stocked here. It is an unturned cast, so the surface is not machine-finished, and the weight is accurate to 5 kg.
It sits beside the Shotput Vinex Competition 5kg at the same weight, with lighter and heavier cast shots covering other age groups. Choose this one for regular throwing sessions at school or club.
Key benefits
- Accurate weight means throwers train at the load they compete with.
- Cast iron body handles repeated throwing session after session.
- 5 kg matches the weight guide for boys 14 years and men 16 to 17.
Who it's for

Younger boys and all female throwers use lighter weights, so look at the Shotput Vinex Cast 3kg for them, while senior men step up to the Shotput Vinex Cast 6kg.
