TURBOJAV
​
Turbojav was developed by former world men’s javelin throw world record holder, Tom Petranoff. Turbojav is a throwing implement designed to develop correct throwing technique. Turbojav teaches the basic fundamentals and mechanics associated with the javelin throwing event. The Turbojav was originally designed to teach beginner javelin throwers the same throwing fundamentals in a safe and fun environment. Our Javelin Games were designed to be used for not only for distance throwing, but also used for target throwing, and weak side throwing, Turbojav is also ideal for the more advanced athlete to use as a training implement to improve their accuracy and technique. They are made a special soft nose, non marking, which enhances the safety feature and allows it to be also thrown indoors. Our Turbojavs comes in various weights, from 300 grams to 600 grams. Elementary, Primary schools and Special Olympics use 300/400g. Middle schools and some high schools use 500 and 600g . Our 700g and 800g are for high schools, college, masters, elite and Unified Sports. Each Turbojav comes in a variety of vibrant colors, it also can be unassembled for easy transportation.
TURBOJAV 300 (SKU TJ300)
The 300g is our lightest weighted Turbojav, it weights 300 grams and is 28” long. This is the official weight in Junior Olympics sub bantam and midget age groups. High school athletes of all ages use the 300g to practice as it is lighter and less demanding on the arm and elbow. Using this weight allows for target practice to gain fundamental basic skills needed to throw far. The lighter weight allows for speed training as well as learning about “the whip”. The 300g is where athletes start the basics then work their way up to the 600g and 700g TurboJavelins.
