Turbojav: The Ultimate Throwing Training Tool
Turbojav was developed by former world record holder Tom Petranoff to teach the fundamentals of javelin throwing in a fun, safe, and effective way. Originally designed for beginners, Turbojav has evolved into a must-have training tool for athletes of all levels, from youth to elite competitors. With aerodynamic precision, balanced weight distribution, and a soft, non-marking nose, Turbojav allows athletes to develop throwing biomechanics, improve accuracy, power, and technique, and reinforce injury prevention strategies without unnecessary strain on the arm and elbow.
Versatile Training & Javelin Games.
Turbojav isn’t just for distance throwing—it’s also used for:
✅ Target throwing – Hone accuracy and precision
✅ Bilateral and weak-side throwing – Improve overall coordination

The lightest and most beginner-friendly Turbojav, weighing 300 grams and measuring 28” long. This is the official Junior Olympic weight for sub-bantam and midget age groups. It is also widely used by high school athletes for speed training, mechanics refinement, and learning 'the whip' technique.
📏 Measures: 28” | Diameter: 1.5”
TURBOJAV 400 (SKU TJ400)
A 400-gram Turbojav designed for intermediate athletes. Used at the European club level, this model provides a smooth transition for those progressing in weight and strength. Perfect for refining mechanics while maintaining speed.
📏 Measures: 28” | Diameter: 1.5”
TURBOJAV 500 (SKU TJ500)
At 500 grams and 42” long, this Turbojav is ideal for USA and Canadian middle school programs and is widely used in South African and Peruvian youth athletics. Designed to bridge the gap between introductory training and competition-level javelins, it helps athletes develop technique, arm strength, and accuracy.

TURBOJAVELIN 700 (SKU TJ700)
A hybrid training tool at 700 grams and 72” long, this Turbojavelin challenges throwers by requiring precision, control, and correct point alignment. If thrown improperly, it will wobble and lose distance, providing instant feedback on technique flaws. This makes it an essential corrective tool for serious throwers refining their skills.
📏 Measures: 78” | Diameter: 1.5”
TURBOJAVELIN 800 (SKU TJ800)
Designed to match the men’s javelin competition weight at 800 grams and 72” long, this Turbojavelin is a high-level training implement for elite and collegiate throwers. It reinforces proper release, point control, and biomechanical efficiency. Like the 700g model, incorrect technique results in wobbling, making it an excellent self-correcting tool for high-performance training.
📏 Measures: 78” | Diameter: 1.5”
