Who it's for
Use this 16 lb shot if you throw in track and field, train for Highland Games, or practice the same kind of spherical throw described on this page. The work is simple: deliver force to a spherical object through an optimal trajectory. This listing is the 16 lb weight, not a different size in the same line.
This weight in the PowerMax iron shot line
This page is the 16 lb PowerMax cast iron shot, heavier than the 12 lb shot and lighter than the 18 lb shot in this line. EliteFTS also sells the 6 lb, 8 lb, 10 lb, 12 lb, 18 lb, and 20 lb official-weight iron shots. Each of those pages is a different weight, so pick the one that matches the throw you are training. The shots are sold at EliteFTS in the Bars and Weights collection, and they also appear in Accessories.

What you get on this page
This 16 lb shot is made of cast iron and is guaranteed official weight and size. The product photo shows a gold-colored metal ball. The page does not list a diameter in inches or millimeters, only that official-size guarantee, so use the listed 16 lb weight and the official-size claim when you compare it to other throws. Vendor on this page is PowerMax.
How to use it
Train the throw you already do: track and field, Highland Games, or the practice throw described here. This is the 16 lb iron shot, so load and release that weight, not a softshell indoor shot. If you need a softer indoor practice shot, EliteFTS sells polyvinyl indoor softshell shots in their own listings.
