Swedish ductile iron has a natural texture that very few other materials can match, it feels locked in the hand in a way that gives athletes real confidence at the point of release. I've had throwers switch from standard steel to the Valhalla and immediately feel the difference. If an athlete has hand issues or struggles with grip consistency, this is my first recommendation. The Viking is a great option for athletes who want elite-level performance at a more accessible price."
