The Nordic Comet Javelins are aluminium with a flex range slightly larger than the Viking, so distance ratings a little lower in the range.  This makes it a useful implement for beginners but being certified it is also to competition specifications.

Available options:

  • 800g
    • Flex 11.4
  • 700g
  • 600g
    • Flex 12.1
  • 500g
    • Flex 12.6
  • 400g
    • Flex 12.9


Stiffness

The stiffer the javelin, the less it will flex/vibrate in the air and will result in less air drag.  The down side is that it puts a lot more strain on the upper body.  A soft javelin flexes/vibrates a lot, which can also be a very good thing is you are a less skilled thrower.

Aerodynamics

This is the difference between throwing an iron pipe and a fine tuned javelin.  The two most driving factors when it comes to the cost of a javelin is the choice of material & fine tuning of the geometry.  Nordic have invested a lot of time to find the best aerodynamics for the longest flight depending of the stiffness & balance.

Balance

 Balance together with aerodynamics will decide when in flight at a given velocity the javelin will turn it's tip towards the ground.  If your javelin has a tendency to land flat you should try a javelin with lower level aerodynamics and balance.
