Our new 250 gram youth javelin for girls and boys ages 7 – 10 provides the start of a learning progression for flying the javelin. Soft rubber tip, safety button on the tail. Flys just like our 450g Finnflier (“Aerojav”) and full-sized javelins. QR code on the label allows quick reference to our training video. The Mini-Aerojav, as the name implies, is a smaller development ofUSATF’s Aerojav category. This implement begins the progression of skilllearning resulting in efficient and effective javelin throwing, especially flightskills. The goal is to provide a learning experience that prepares theathletes for the next step in progression. • It’s scaled to fit up to the 95th percentile 10 year old, so that the athletecan see the tip by their eye to allow for more accurate aiming of theimplement, resulting in better flights. • Weight 250 grams helps create flight characteristics that replicate thoseof the Aerojav. The flight feedback tells the athlete when they did or didnot throw it straight. The straight throws fly far and the crooked throws flyshort. • The shaft has been engineered to provide the optimal flexibility and “feel”to replicate those of the Aerojav. Four years of development and testing, with many dozens of youngathletes, have revealed that these age groups can be very successful withthis implement, even with virtually no coaching. Of course, some are betterthan others, but young athletes who like to throw learn quickly. Show more
