Blazer Mfg. Discus

Yes, this discus is fully NFHS approved and meets all necessary competition standards for high school athletics. However, because it is designed for advanced throwers, it is best suited for athletes who have already mastered basic technique and are looking to transition to elite-level equipment.

A higher rim weight percentage, like the 88% found on this model, pushes more mass to the perimeter of the discus. This increases the moment of inertia, which helps the discus maintain its spin longer during flight and provides greater stability against wind interference.

The XPT side plate technology is engineered to optimize the discus's aerodynamic profile. By reducing drag and improving flight characteristics, it allows for a more consistent and predictable flight path, which is essential for competitive throwers aiming for precision.

While it is durable enough for regular use, this is a competition-grade implement. Many elite throwers prefer to use this discus primarily for meets and high-intensity training sessions to preserve the integrity of the brass rim and side plates over the long term.

Brass is a durable material, but it can oxidize over time. To keep your discus in top condition, simply wipe it down with a soft, dry cloth after each use to remove dirt and moisture, and store it in a protective bag when not in the throwing circle.
