Stackhouse Competition Wood Discus

Wood discuses offer a more traditional feel and better grip, which many athletes prefer for competition. They provide a truer flight path and are generally preferred by coaches for developing proper throwing technique.

This model uses specialized lamination to specifically combat the shrinkage and warping issues common in older, solid-wood designs. It is engineered to maintain its shape and structural integrity throughout the season.

A 68% rim weight provides a high level of stability during flight, helping the discus cut through the air more effectively. This distribution is ideal for athletes who need a consistent, predictable flight path to improve their accuracy and distance.

Weight requirements are typically dictated by the governing rules of your specific competition level. High school athletes usually throw 1.6 kg for boys and 1 kg for girls, while collegiate men use 2 kg and collegiate women use 1 kg; always check your league's regulations before purchasing.

While durable, wood discuses are best used on grass or synthetic turf landing sectors. Throwing onto concrete or hard, rocky surfaces can damage the wood and metal rim, significantly shortening the implement's lifespan.
