Product Information
A steel shot lands like a steel shot. This one does not: the weight comes from a fine pellet filling inside a thick rubber skin, so it drops dead where it hits instead of bouncing or rolling away, and it will not mark a sports hall floor. That is what makes indoor shot put training possible at all. It matters more than usual in para athletics and in blind athletics. A shot that stops where it lands is a shot that can be found again, measured safely and retrieved without a spotter chasing it across the hall. It also means beginners can throw without the equipment being the dangerous part of the session. KSG weight each shot individually during filling, so the marked weight is the real weight rather than a nominal one. The range covers the whole ladder that competition and classification actually use: 800 g up through the 2 kg, 3 kg, 4 kg and 5 kg school and women’s weights to the 7.26 kg men’s senior shot, with in-between weights at 1.2, 1.25, 3.5, 3.6, 3.8, 4.2, 4.4, 5.4, 5.5 and 6.25 kg for the classified events. Diameters step up with the weight, from 75 mm for the lightest to 140 mm from 4.2 kg upwards, so the shot always sits properly in the neck. Blue below 3 kg, red above, with the weight moulded into the surface next to a small filling plug. Made in Germany by KSG.
