Description
Overview
The Shotput Cast 3.25kg is the odd one out in the Vinex cast iron line: the standard shotput weight guide jumps from 3 kg straight to 4 kg, so this weight only makes sense when your school association or event programme calls for it.
As a cast shot it is unturned, but Vinex casts it to accurate weight. If your athletes compete at 3.25 kg and need a turned implement, the Shotput Vinex Competition 3.25 is the matching machine-turned version.
Key benefits
- Accurate weight in an unturned cast iron shot for everyday training.
- Fills the 3.25 kg step between the 3 kg and 4 kg grades.
- Same weight as the turned Vinex Competition 3.25, so training and meet implements match.
- Held in NZ; orders generally dispatch the same or next business day.
Who it's for
Schools and clubs whose local competition programme lists 3.25 kg. Because the weight guide does not assign an age to it, confirm with your athletics association which grade throws it before buying a set.
If your events follow the standard guide, boys aged 11 to 12 and girls aged 12 to 14 throw 3 kg, and boys aged 13 throw the Shotput Cast 4kg.
Sizing guide
The shotput weight guide lists 3 kg and 4 kg but not 3.25 kg, so no age band is given for this shot. Use the grade your competition specifies.
Care, safety and set-up
Store cast shots dry and in a crate rather than loose on concrete. The store's 12-month guarantee applies.
