🏅 Coach Cappos Recommends

"The Lathe Turned Hammer is the best value for training and competition hammers. It's my top recommendation for developing throwers, offering a precision-balanced ball, a smooth swivel, and an affordable price. Having multiple weights for heavy-light training can make a significant difference in developing technique and event-specific skills."
