Martin Sports Iron Shot Put, 6 lb

Technique is learned light, then carried to heavier weight.

Young throwers who start too heavy learn to muscle the shot, and a 6 pound iron lets them learn to throw it.

Light Enough to Learn: Six pounds lets developing athletes move fast through the ring. Good positions become habits.

Official Outdoor Shot: Martin lists it as an official outdoor shot put. It is a real implement, not a toy.

Solid Iron: Iron construction takes outdoor landings season after season. It stays in the team bin for years.

First Throws Clinic: Picture a middle school thrower, chin up, elbow high, pushing the shot off the neck for the first clean put of her life. This is the iron for that day.

A Step on the Ladder: Start at 6 pounds and move up as the athlete grows. Martin carries the weights that follow.

Build the technique now and the distance will come.
