The Original Indoor Hard Shell Shot Put
Price range: $83.70 through $147.00
In the 1960s, Al Hadar — coach, innovator, and founder of Hadar Athletic — invented the first-ever indoor shot put so athletes could train safely year-round without damaging gym floors.
More than 60 years later, every Hadar Indoor Hard Shell Shot Put is still made by hand in Iowa, following Al’s original design for perfect balance, durability, and feel. This is the shot put that started it all and it’s still setting the standard today.
