Discus Design

Differences in discus design and weight distribution create differences in performance.

High Spin over 80% rim weight for advanced throwers who generate a lot of spin on the discus
Low Spin 75% rim weight for intermediate throwers who generate a moderate amount of spin
Centre Weighted 50% rim weight for beginner discus throwers who do not generate much spin on the discus
