4.3.3 Throwing a Javelin Ball
The javelin ball is a little bigger than a tennis ball but with the additions
of a special finger grip and weight. It is predominantly used by
javelin throwers during indoor winter training sessions.
4.3.4 Throwing a Soft Javelin or Plastic Javelin
The use of either soft javelins or plastic javelins is recommended as they can be used safely both
indoor and outdoor for all practice requirements. The illustrations below indicate where the
respective javelins should be held to achieve maximum throwing distance. When throwing these
javelins the palm of the hand should be facing upwards to ensure the correct flight of the javelin.
