Description
Overview
Vinex builds the Indoor Shotput 3kg the same way as the lighter indoor weights: a lead filling for density, wrapped in a shock-resistant PVC case with a smooth finish. The difference is who it serves.
At 3 kg it is a junior shot for some and a senior shot for others, so it suits a club gear bag as much as a school PE store. It is a training shot, not a competition implement.
Key benefits
- Covers junior boys, junior girls, senior women and masters with one implement.
- Trains indoors year round because the PVC case suits hard floors.
- Does not bounce away after landing, keeping the throwing area orderly.
- Dense lead fill keeps the shot compact for its weight.
Who it's for
On the shotput weight guide, 3 kg is the boys' weight at eleven to twelve, the girls' weight at twelve to fourteen, the women's weight at sixteen to seventeen and the women's masters weight from fifty. That reach suits intermediate schools, secondary girls' athletics and club women's squads. Boys of thirteen move to the Shotput Vinex Competition 4kg.
Sizing guide
Girls use 3 kg from twelve to fourteen, and women return to it at sixteen to seventeen before moving to 4 kg from eighteen. Boys use it for a shorter window, eleven to twelve, then step to 4 kg.
Care, safety and set-up
Keep this shot for indoor training as listed and store it in a crate rather than loose on a bench. It carries the store's 12-month guarantee, and reps can help match weights to your squad.
