Description

The OTE Apex series was developed by Dick Held alongside the 90m javelin using the same principles. Perfect for the intermediate athlete who wants a softer feel during the throw while developing a cleaner release. The Apex series allows for more forgiveness and protection from injury.

Headwind (H)

A headwind version of an OTE javelin describes a streamlined tip designed to help cut through the wind. This javelin tip, because of its small surface area, will have self-correcting characteristics when a thrower misses the point, adding valuable distance to a missed throw. The headwind version is ideal for ‘power’ throwers who lack perfect technique but make up for it with strength and torque.

Tailwind (T)

A tailwind version of an OTE javelin describes a thicker, more blunted tip that increases the surface area in front of the javelin. When a thrower hits the point with a tailwind version of an OTE javelin, it will mimic the old rules style javelins, with a beautiful floating flight and greater distances. This tailwind version is ideal for ‘finesse’ throwers who lack high outputs of power, yet throw at a high technical level.

Universal

A universal version of an OTE javelin describes a streamlined tip designed to cut through the air while helping deliver lift on the javelin. This javelin tip, because of its small surface area, will have self-correcting characteristics when a thrower misses the point, adding valuable distance to a missed throw. Ideal for ‘power’ throwers who lack perfect technique but make up for it with strength and torque.
