I use it with every thrower, high school through college. The idea is simple: training with a heavier implement builds the specific strength for your event, and training with a lighter one teaches your nervous system to move faster through the throwing motion. Alternate cycles of heavy and light work throughout your season and you will throw farther. For 4k throwers, the 3k and 4.25k are the two shots I'd start with."
