Description
Overview
The Vinex Lo Spin 1.75 kg is a training discus for the men's 18 to 19 age band. Vinex positions the Lo Spin range as an ideal choice for schools and training, and the 1.75 kg sits one step below the full senior 2 kg implement.
A steel rim gives the discus its durability on grass and concrete circles, while the blue ABS plastic side plates keep the body tough between the rims. With 70% of the mass in the rim, this is the lower rim-weight option in the Vinex range, which makes it a forgiving discus for athletes still learning release and rotation.
Key benefits
- Matches the weight guide for men aged 18 to 19, so athletes train with the correct implement.
- Steel rim stands up to repeated landings on hard circles and grass.
- Strong blue ABS plastic side plates for everyday school and club use.
- 70% rim weight keeps it easy to handle for developing throwers.
- Bright blue plates are simple to spot and sort at a busy training session.
Who it's for
Choose the 1.75 kg for male athletes aged 18 to 19 who have outgrown the 1.5 kg used at 16 to 17 but are not yet throwing the senior 2 kg. It suits secondary school senior programmes and club training squads.
If your throwers are 16 to 17, use the Discus Vinex Lo Spin 1.5kg instead. Once they turn 20 they move to the Discus Vinex Lo Spin 2kg. Women and girls do not use this weight; the guide has them on the 1 kg or lighter.
Sizing guide
The Discus Weight Guide lists 1.75 kg for men aged 18 to 19 only. No women's, girls', boys' or masters grade uses this weight, so check the age band before ordering for a mixed squad.
Care, safety and set-up
Wipe the plates and rim dry after use and store the discus off damp ground. Covered by the store's 12-month guarantee. Orders generally dispatch the same or next business day, and you can request a quote when buying a full set of weights for a school or club.
