We broke a 42lb weight for distance at the Thistle last weekend, I'm unsure were to get another one.
The weight is a cannon ball style, with chain and D handle 42lbs. Thanks in advance. |

Those were cool weights too. Time to call up Mike L and invest in his kind. I don't know if Bobby D is making them anymore. If he is its the cannonball shape with D handles

VSA athletics has a 40# T&F weight that can be topped off with lead to bring the weight up. I have 4 of this type ( think they come from India) I had to replace the bearings with a solid bushing, $10 fix and spins on the chain just fine. Weight is about $150.
Amber sports in Katy TX, same as above. May give you a deal since he said they were dropping them. A cheaper option is get an 80 pound dumbbell and cut it in half. Add ring and chain, weight comes out good and you get a spare. The company that makes the "Dominator" brand indoor weight will make you one tungsten and lead, but they are expensive. Someone with the Buffallo Heavies group in NY makes them as well. I sourced tungsten ball bearings up to 11" diameter in China, you don't want to know the price. +1 on the Landrich , and you have to try his hybrid handles. |

I purchased my 42 WFD from Landrich and was very pleased. He will customize it for you and is very responsive. Quick turn around too! Highly recommended.

I'm wanting to keep the cannonball look. So if I have to have one made that's what we will have to do. Do you know the name of the company that makes the "Dominator" weight? Getyoukilt ?

www.dominatorathletics.com Steve Bartholomew is the owner. He makes lots of custom stuff, and quality is top notch. I bought weights from him when I was still in the track and field world. Give him a call and let him know what you're looking for and he can probably make it.

The VSA and amber sports ones I mentioned are ball types. Just add molten lead. I know there are other T&F weights for sale that are round but price goes up quick.
I have 2 fifty something pound kettlebells that I am looking to turn into 42's . After cutting off the huge handles I think they might be ok. You might look for something like that. I will let you know how it turns out. They have been doorstops for 12 years, I might as well get some use. |
