Turbojav is the official mini-javelin of the USATF and Junior Olympic programs. This soft tip Turbojav is ideal for developing technique. When thrown properly, flies like a real javelin, so it's also a great training tool for advanced throwers as well. This training aid has the feel and performance of a javelin at a fraction of the cost. Designed to be thrown "through the point". Your beginning thrower can get the feel of the javelin and learn the correct technique from the start!
