Description
Overview
The Vinex Comp Javelin 60m/600gm is a competition implement rated to 60 m, sitting in the middle of the Vinex range of competition javelins we stock. It is built for meets rather than skills sessions: alloy construction, a cord grip for a repeatable hold, and a 600 gm weight that lines up with the senior women's specification.
Each javelin arrives in a protective storage tube. Keep the tube, because it is the easiest way to move the javelin between the gear shed and inter-school or club meets without bending or scuffing the tip.
Key benefits
- Consistent hand position on every throw thanks to the cord grip.
- Travels safely to meets in the supplied protective storage tube.
- Alloy construction suited to competition rather than foam-javelin skills work.
- Rated to 60 m, matching senior women's and under-15 men's throwing.
Who it's for
Choose this weight for secondary school girls competing at senior level and for women's club and masters throwers. It also serves under-15 boys, who throw 600 gm under the same guide.
It is not a beginner's teaching tool. For introducing throwing technique to younger classes, the Foam Javelin – Junior is the safer starting point, and the Run, Jump, Throw – Basic Kitset covers a full athletics day for primary and intermediate groups.
Sizing guide
The javelin weight guide puts the 600 gm implement at men's under-15 and women's 18-plus, with masters men at 60-69 years and masters women at 35-49 years. Girls aged 16-17 throw 500 gm, so the Comp Javelin 500gm – 40m is the better pick for younger secondary girls. Boys aged 16-17 move up to the 700 gm model.
Care, safety and set-up
Store the javelin in its tube between sessions and keep it out of general PE bins where the tip can be damaged. Throwing sessions should be supervised with a clear landing sector. Products carry a 12-month guarantee, and our reps can help you build a full set of weights for a school or club.
