Hey so I'm fairly new to throwing and am doing indoor shotput for my high school. The farthest I've thrown is 41'6 - could someone tell me if that's relatively a good throw? I'm not sure if it is or not. And if you have any tips on like throwing shoes that would be greatly helpful. I'm really liking what I've done so far!

Hey,

For a bit of feedback of shoes you should read the thread I posted asking about shoes. Difference In Throwing Shoes

Was really helpful. As for the distance it's pretty good. Sounds like your doing well

For a new high school thrower, 41'6" is a great start! Keep working at it and most of all, have fun with it. If you're in the US, you'll probably start being competitive in meets when you get to 45 - 50' and above 50' people start thinking you're pretty good. It's a long road, but it's worth it. Good luck!
