Using keyed foam mats we cut out the proper size 2.5-meter throwing circle. There are 16 segments to the circle. We used a large laser router to cut a smooth accurate circle to the proper size. The pads lock together to form the throwing circle. We use dumbbell weights to hold the circle down or you can use any heavy object on two or more of the segments. The mats are heavy-duty 3/4 inch thick. Circle is accurate to within .5 diameter due to expansion and contraction of foam. We get material in 3 different colors and depending on availability the one shipped may be sky blue, silver/grey or black,
0, 90, 180 270, are marked on four segments to give visual to the proper foot placement for turns. Depending on availability they will be on contrasting segment colors or labeled in contrasting ink.
Our theory is that every other sport has a field or court markings. Why not for throwers. Imagine Stephen Curry playing with no floor markings to reference. The visual cues give a better feeling and knowing how your footwork is working.
Colors may vary.

Watch out for shipping
This circle looks like it will work for us but at the weight and size, it did NOT warrant $269.00 worth of shipping charges. It shipped wrapped in a garbage bag. Order from somewhere else if you don't want to pay excessively for shipping.
