400g TURBOJAV Javelin Throw Training Aid
Develop and improve the proper throwing techniques for football, cricket, baseball, and track and field with the innovative TurboJav!
TurboJav is an innovative throwing implement developed by former men’s javelin world champion and two time world record holder, Tom Petranoff. It is designed to teach young athletes the basic throwing fundamentals and mechanics in a safe and fun environment.
What is the Turbojav?
Made of medical grade polyethylene plastic material, Turbojav is aerodynamically engineered to imitate the fly and trajectory of the real metal javelin, but with a reduced length and light weight body.
Young athletes will be able to use TurboJav to develop correct throwing technique while greatly reduce the risk of elbow and shoulder injuries. By learning the proper throwing mechanics in early age, children will perform significantly better in many track and field events and other sports that involve throwing, such as cricket, football, baseball, etc. by the time they get to high school and college. This would not be possible with a real metal javelin.
