The Nordic Master Aluminium Javelin is a 'forgiving' all-round aluminium javelin that is suitable for all wind conditions.  It requires a moderate amount of skill, both technically and physically with the thrower. 

The Nordic Master Aluminium javelin is a fantastic choice for club and intermediate level athletes, as it will self-correct in flight with greater ease than stiffer javelins, yet is still WA certified and will produce good results in competitions.

Weight options:

  • 800g
    • flex 7.5
  • 600g
    • flex 7.9
    • distance rating approx 40-50m

Skill Level

Javelins are made to suit the different skill levels of the athlete's.  If for example a beginner starts throwing with the expert javelin, the javelin will not perform how it was intended to perform.

Here's how Nordic rate the skill level.
1. Novice
2. Advanced beginner
3. Specialist
4. Expert

Stiffness

The stiffer the javelin, the less it will flex/vibrate in the air and will result in less air drag.  The down side is that it puts a lot more strain on the upper body.  A soft javelin flexes/vibrates a lot, which can also be a very good thing is you are a less skilled thrower.

Aerodynamics

This is the difference between throwing an iron pipe and a fine tuned javelin.  The two most driving factors when it comes to the cost of a javelin is the choice of material & fine tuning of the geometry.  Nordic have invested a lot of time to find the best aerodynamics for the longest flight depending of the stiffness & balance.

Balance

 Balance together with aerodynamics will decide when in flight at a given velocity the javelin will turn it's tip towards the ground.  If your javelin has a tendency to land flat you should try a javelin with lower level aerodynamics and balance.
