Choosing the right hammer throw equipment
Hammer throw is a technical event, and having the right equipment makes a real difference to training and competition performance. Our range covers everything from beginner-friendly hammers for schools and junior athletes through to competition-grade equipment used by senior throwers, so whatever level you're coaching or competing at, you'll find hammers built to the right specification.
Competition and training hammers
We stock hammer throw equipment from Nelco, Polanik and ATE, three of the most trusted names in athletics throwing implements. Training hammers are built for durability through repeated use, while competition hammers meet the specifications required for meets and championships. Choosing between the two comes down to how the hammer will be used, and our range covers both.
Hammer weights, from primary to senior
Hammer throw weights are set by age and competition category, from lighter hammers used in primary and junior athletics through to the full senior weights used in national and international competition. We stock hammer weights across this full range, making it easier for clubs and schools to equip athletes as they progress through age groups.
Hammer wires, handles and accessories
A hammer is only as good as its wire and handle. We stock replacement wires and handles separately, so you can maintain and repair existing hammers rather than replacing the whole implement. Gloves and bags are also available to protect both the athlete's grip and the equipment itself during transport and storage.
Other throwing events
If you're equipping a squad across multiple throwing disciplines, take a look at our discus, shot put and javelin ranges, as well as our para athlete throws equipment for adapted competition.
