Details
  • Machine-turned for consistent diameter and precise balance
  • Solid cast iron construction handles heavy daily ring work
  • Meets NFHS specifications for competition use
  • Available in 12 lb (Silver) and 4K (Red) weights

A balanced shot is critical for developing proper release mechanics. These solid cast iron implements are machine-turned to exact diameters. That machining process removes the heavy spots you find in cheaper raw cast shots. Your throwers get a consistent feel in the hand and a truer flight out of the ring.

Proper finger length dictates shot selection. The implement needs to rest on the callus pad of the palm with fingers up the side. Throwers with shorter fingers usually get a better release with the smaller 104mm diameter of the red 4K shot (part AC-AFSHOT4K). The silver 12 lb model (part AC-AFSHOT12) steps up to a 115mm diameter for larger hands. Both options meet NFHS specifications, making them reliable choices for practice reps and meet days.

Coach's Questions

Which weight shot put should my throwers use?
High school boys throw the 12 lb shot. High school girls use the 4K (8.8 lb) shot. Both weights meet NFHS specifications for competition.
What is the diameter of these shot puts?
The 12 lb silver shot has a 115mm diameter. The 4K red shot features a smaller 104mm diameter. This helps throwers with shorter fingers maintain proper hand position.
Why does a machine-turned shot matter for throwing?
Machine turning shaves the raw cast iron to a precise sphere. This process eliminates heavy spots and ensures the implement is balanced for a smooth release.
Can we use this iron shot put for indoor practice?
No. Solid iron shots will damage indoor flooring. You need a soft-shell indoor shot put for practicing in the gym or on synthetic indoor surfaces.
Will the paint chip after hitting the sector?
Yes. Like all painted iron implements, the silver or red finish will chip and scratch from landing in the dirt and gravel. This cosmetic wear does not affect the balance or legality of the shot.
