Description
Overview
The Primary Shot 500gm is a soft PVC shot put made for indoor practice with young students. Because it is non-bouncy with a smooth finish, it lands on a gym floor without skittering away, so a class can rotate through throws quickly. It is the lightest shot in our shotput range.
Key benefits
- Lands and stays put indoors thanks to the non-bouncy PVC body.
- Smooth finish is easy on young hands and gym floors.
- Light 500 g weight lets beginners learn the push technique.
Who it's for
Pick the 500 g shot for junior primary classes learning to throw, and step up to the Primary Shot 600gm once technique is settled. The shot put weight guide starts at 600 g for under-six athletes, so this sits below the youngest guide weight. For a full field-day kit, see the Run, Jump, Throw – Basic Kitset.
