Stackhouse Competition Wood Discus

Traditional solid wood discs are prone to warping and shrinking when exposed to temperature changes or humidity. The lamination process used here bonds multiple layers of wood together, which significantly increases structural integrity and ensures the discus maintains its shape and balance over time.

A 68% rim weight means that the majority of the discus's mass is concentrated on the outer edge. This creates higher rotational inertia, which helps the discus maintain stability and flight path during the throw, making it a great choice for athletes who need a consistent, predictable release.

Yes, it is designed for both. The construction meets the standards required for high school and collegiate competition, while its durability makes it a reliable choice for daily practice sessions in the throwing circle.

While the wood is laminated for stability, it is still a wood-based implement. It is designed to withstand the rigors of competition and training, but you should avoid throwing it onto concrete or asphalt surfaces to prevent unnecessary chipping or damage to the side plates.

Absolutely. Because of its stable flight characteristics and durable construction, it is an excellent implement for athletes who are still developing their technique and need a reliable, consistent piece of equipment to practice with.
