Description
Overview
The Discus Vinex Hi-Spin 2kg is the heaviest discus in the Vinex range and the standard men's competition weight. It is built with a steel rim carrying 75% of the total weight and strong red ABS plastic side plates, and it is balanced to suit any level of competition.
A hi-spin discus rewards a thrower who can generate rotation. If your athletes are still learning technique, the Discus Vinex Lo Spin 2kg is the more forgiving choice at the same weight.
Key benefits
- Flies steadily for experienced throwers thanks to 75% of the weight in the steel rim.
- Shrugs off landings on hard ground with strong red ABS plastic side plates.
- Ready for meets at any level, balanced to suit competition throwing.
- Easy to find in long grass with its red side plates.
Who it's for
This is a senior men's implement. It suits club throwers aged 20 and over and men's masters athletes in the 35 to 49 age group, plus coaches who want a competition-weight discus for training sessions.
Secondary schools rarely need the 2 kg weight. For school athletics, look at the Discus Vinex Hi-Spin 1kg or the lighter weights in the discus category, which match younger age groups.
Sizing guide
The discus weight guide places the 2 kg discus with men aged 20 and over and men's masters aged 35 to 49. Younger men throw 1.5 kg or 1.75 kg, women and older masters throw 1 kg, and school-age athletes step down further.
Care, safety and set-up
Wipe the discus after use and store it dry so the steel rim keeps its finish. Throw only into a sector clear of people and equipment.
The discus is covered by the store's 12-month guarantee. Clubs buying several weights can add them to a quote for a set price.
