Description
Overview
The Vinex Trainer Javelin 500gm is where many school throws programmes begin: a practice implement with a cord grip at the 500 g class. The size guide matches 500 g to men under 15, women 16–17, men's masters 70–79 and women's masters 50–59. It sits at the light end of the javelins range, with 600 g, 700 g and 800 g trainers above it.
Key benefits
- Light 500 g class for athletes new to the event.
- Cord grip gives a defined hold point when teaching the release.
- Matches the size guide weight for boys under 15 and girls 16–17.
- Trainer model, so daily practice wear stays off your competition gear.
Who it's for
Buy the 500 g for throws groups where most athletes are under 15, and for girls in the 16–17 band. Once boys reach the next bands, step up to the Trainer Javelin – 600gm or the Trainer Javelin – 700gm 2025 Specs. Beginners not yet ready for a full javelin can start on the Foam Javelin – Junior.
Sizing guide
500 g: men under 15, women 16–17, men's masters 70–79, women's masters 50–59. The guide lists 400 g for women under 15 and women's masters 60 and over, and 600 g for men under 15 and women 18 and over.
Care, safety and set-up
Rack javelins horizontally with the tips protected and check the cord grip for fraying. Throw only on a cleared field with supervision.
