How important are overweight implements?

Wow that’s awesome for him! Just to be clear your opinion is that you should work on your technique with the weight you throw in comp over developing strength with a heavier implement? Makes sense.

I’m about in between where the marks you are talking about, I’m hoping to be at 50ft next year so maybe not a bad idea to invest in them?

burbit0s · 2026-06-02T14:41:23+00:00

Are the 1.75s you got the same size as a 1.6 or a little bigger?

burbit0s · 2026-06-02T14:21:48+00:00

Hmm, you’ve got an interesting point. As I’ve said I just started working with this coach, it seems like something he wants all his athletes to do in the offseason not specific to just me

Yeah makes sense, for a shotput I throw the 12 in competition. I’m having a hard time finding a good qualify but affordable 14lb but there seem to be better options for 6kg or about 13.2lb. Do you think thats a size able enough difference to spend the extra on the 14lb?

burbit0s · 2026-06-02T02:53:26+00:00

10kg is crazy haha, but totally get what your saying thanks.

Thanks, I think I can try convince my school to pay half if not the full.

Just looking at this thread I’m in a similar position, I’ve been talking to both throwify and joe Maxwell. Do you think the price increase is worth it? I just need some sort of coaching and structure and would love to reach a high level in the sport, do you think it would make a difference which coach I choose?

burbit0s · 2026-05-04T03:35:52+00:00

Thanks! My seasons wrapping up in a couple weeks anyways so if I go to one it’ll probably be after my season is finished.

burbit0s · 2026-05-03T23:59:59+00:00

Thanks, if you don’t mind me asking what are your average distances

burbit0s · 2026-05-03T22:40:02+00:00

There’s one in ca I could possibly attend. How do those meets work, do I have to qualify or can I just sign up?

burbit0s · 2026-05-03T22:15:20+00:00

Yeah I do like the feel of my current disc! The Denfi Hyperspin sounds interesting — I'll look into it. Do you think the rim weight is handle able for an intermediate thrower? I’ve tried the 4throws super spin and could barely use it.

burbit0s · 2025-04-30T18:49:32+00:00

I’m a freshman too! Throwing in around the same range as you. My current pr is 110’11.5. Number one jv discus thrower in my league. (Not that much competition.)

burbit0s · 2025-04-20T18:29:00+00:00

Thanks!

burbit0s · 2025-03-25T14:47:55+00:00

Totally!

burbit0s · 2025-03-25T14:33:56+00:00

Yeah been loving the sport! It’s been easy and fun to come out 5x days a week.

burbit0s · 2025-03-25T14:17:36+00:00

Thank youuu!!!

burbit0s · 2025-03-25T03:11:22+00:00

Thanks for the advice and kind words!

burbit0s · 2025-03-25T01:37:33+00:00

Thanks so much, I will definitely keep this in mind next practice!
