ABOUT OUR THROW CAGES
Our Hammer Throw and Discus Cages have been designed and created to provide you with a wide range of benefits that plain traditional cages don’t have. Trevor Bowman invented the Thor 9, Thor 10 and Apollo Cages to bring forward a revolutionary product to change the way Athletics are played today while also showcasing a unique and captivating design that will elevate your club/event. Our cages are significantly easier and cheaper to install due to our 3-4 pole support system, provide a greater/less obstructive view for the thrower and spectators, and highlight a classy design.
