Hammer Throw Equipment

The Gill Turbo Hammer (2K) is a training implement designed to teach proper throwing mechanics and fundamentals for the hammer throw. Its forgiving, engineered build lets coaches introduce the rotational technique, balance, and release timing the event demands in a safe, controlled way — perfect for beginners, indoor practice, and high-volume technical reps before athletes move to a full-weight competition hammer.

Key features & specs:

• 2K training hammer built to teach proper throwing mechanics and fundamentals
• Durable nylon handle with a strong grip for secure control through the turns
• Ball made of high-grade polyethylene rubber with gel filling and a sharkskin surface
• Forgiving, controlled feel ideal for developing and youth throwers
• Safe for both indoor and outdoor use
• Great for grooving footwork, balance, and release timing

Coach's tip: Use the Turbo Hammer for indoor turn-and-release drills in the off-season — the soft ball and durable handle let athletes rehearse the full rotational pattern safely in tighter spaces. Care: Wipe the ball and handle clean after use, inspect the handle connection regularly, and store indoors at room temperature to protect the grip and gel fill.

The Gill Orbiter Handle is the replacement grip for Gill Orbiter Lead Throwing Weights, restoring a secure, comfortable hold when the original handle wears down. Its wide, textured design gives throwers dependable grip through the turns and release — an economical fix that keeps a valuable training weight in service instead of replacing the whole implement.

Key features & specs:

• Type: Replacement handle (handle only)
• Design: Wide, textured grip for a secure hold
• Finish: Textured black
• Compatibility: Fits Gill Orbiter Lead Throwing Weights
• Model: GP-491030

Coach's tip: Inspect handles regularly and swap in a fresh one at the first sign of wear or cracking — a compromised grip is a safety risk with a heavy throwing weight. Keep a spare on hand so a worn handle never sidelines a training weight mid-session.

The Gill Add-On Weight is an economical way to fine-tune the load of your hammer or indoor throwing weights without buying a full set of additional implements. Its stackable half-pound plates let coaches dial in exactly the resistance an athlete needs for progressive training — a budget-smart tool for developing throwers across the season.

Key features & specs:

• Use: Adds variable weight to hammer or indoor throwing weights
• Contents: Comprised of five 0.5 lb weights
• Range: Provides a 0.5 lb – 2.5 lb adjustment range
• Value: Economical alternative to buying additional full implements
• Model: GP-3603

Coach's tip: Use the add-on plates to bridge weight classes during training so athletes progress gradually rather than jumping straight to a heavier implement. Confirm the total weight meets your competition spec before any sanctioned throw, and store the plates together in a labeled bin so the set stays complete.

The Gill World Athletics Hammer Handle is the competition-grade grip that connects to the hammer's wire, giving throwers a secure, consistent hold through the turns and release. Engineered to meet official specifications and World Athletics approved, it's suitable for sanctioned competition at every level — a reliable replacement or spare for any throws program building out its hammer equipment.

Key features & specs:

• Material: Aluminum grip
• Certification: World Athletics (IAAF) approved for sanctioned competition
• Function: Attaches to the hammer wire to form the thrower's grip
• Use: Competition and training at high school, collegiate, and open levels
• Model: GP-32020

Coach's tip: Pair the handle with a matching wire and hammer head rated for your athletes' weight class, and inspect the grip and wire connection before every session for wear. Keep a spare handle on hand — a worn or bent grip should be retired immediately for safety.
