The shot should sit on the callus (pad) of the palm while the fingers wrap up the side; shorter fingers typically prefer smaller diameters and longer fingers favor larger diameters. Trying two or three diameters for each athlete helps find the best match for grip and delivery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCheck that the shot rests on the palm pad with fingers up the side.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTest multiple diameters when fitting a team to ensure consistent technique.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLarger diameters increase contact area and push zone for different biomechanics.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat construction and performance features matter for practice and meets?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis model is a solid cast iron shot that has been machine-turned to precise diameters, providing a uniform spherical shape and consistent surface texture.
