Im currently throwing in the 120-130ft range with the 1.6k and I don’t really know where I’m leaking distance at. I feel like I have the strength to break 130+. I’ve been working on getting my hip around faster. My goal is 140+ for next outdoor season

I feel as if my stand throws are finally starting to become consistent, a little iffy here and there, but I have been able to improve my normal stands from 28s and 29s to 32s and 33s consistently. I still havent touched on glide or shuffle because I want to absolutely perfect stands before moving on. How am I looking? My release feels alot smoother to me too

Looking to buy a Javelin, need help.

1 Upvotes

I'm in HS throwing the 800g in club track. My coach has his own metal javs we use for practice and meets. However, club season is over so I will no longer be able to use his javs. I want to keep practicing javelin over the off season, so I was thinking about buying a jav. I am mainly considering a plastic AeroJav, as their are cheaper, and throw similar to a metal, compared to a turbo.

My main choices right now are the FinnFlier and the Ghost aero javs

Or should I buy a budget metal jav. I saw their were some on sale for around $200 on various throwing stores.

Javelin Shoes that aren't Nike

I have gone through a second pair of Nike Jav spikes in as many years and am looking to swap. Anyone have any good recommendations that I can find in a size 13/13.5/14? I've heard good things about Under Armor's but I haven't seen above a size 10 for them.
