What is the difference between a metal, wood, and rubber discus?
I’ve just started doing discus and I was thinking about buying a discus to practice at home with since I’m not up at the school all the time. Whenever I search, though, I find a choice between a rubber, wood, and metal discus. Can someone explain the difference between the three?
Rubber is not legal in a meet, and is for practice only. It is usually cheaper than wood or metal.
There are many different designs and they are based on the ability of the thrower, with the weight distribution a key to how the discus will perform when thrown.
If you are a skilled thrower you want the majority of the weight on the edge so it will spin better and fly farther.
If you are not as skilled you want the weight more evenly distributed so you can control the throw.
If you are just starting and want a practice discus get a rubber one so you can throw it anywhere and not worry about damaging it when it hits dirt or rocks or something else that would harm a good discus.
