Cantabrian Orbit Discus

The high rim weight percentage creates significant momentum during the throw. This helps the discus maintain stability in the air and resist wobbling, which is essential for achieving maximum distance.

Composite plates are significantly more durable and resistant to impact damage than wood or traditional metal designs. They also provide a more consistent grip surface, which helps prevent slippage during the release phase.

While the thin rim profile is designed to improve control and grip, it is generally better suited for intermediate to advanced throwers. Beginners might find the specific grip requirements of a thin rim more challenging to master compared to a standard, thicker-rimmed discus.

The weight selection depends on your age and competitive category. The 1.0 kg is standard for women and younger age groups, the 1.6 kg is typically for high school boys, and the 2.0 kg is the regulation weight for men's open competition.

While the composite material is highly durable, all discus implements are designed for use on landing sectors with grass, synthetic turf, or specialized landing mats. Using this discus on concrete or asphalt will cause premature wear and potential damage to the rim and plates.
