The 5 Best indoor shots (2023 reviews)

The nelco indoor shot's material feels more premium than its price would suggest. This is just a cannonball that’s been repurposed into a so called shot-put. It’s an iron ball with body filler of some sort used to smooth out casting imperfections. It's round and it does weigh six pounds so it's up to spec. The surface of it is rough as is the finish. It can be used by middle school boy for practice.

This shot is round, is the proper weight, and the surface is just textured enough to allow a nice grip without being too rough. It is great for special olympics training. It can be used by middle school boys for practice.

Why We Like This:

Very ergonomic and did not explode when it hit the ground
Pretty nice for a hunk of metal
Chips easy if thrown on gravel

Best Runner up: Champion sports indoor Shot

Buy on Amazon

The champion sports indoor shot's high-end materials makes sure that it ages well with use. It is not really pretty, just your basic iron shot, with enough texture to give a good grip without being rough. It is ideal for women's high school and men's youth level shot put. This silver colored shot put has a plug that's used to fill it to the desired weight. The silver paint / finish rubs off onto hands (and neck) really easily and is tough to get off of skin. It has gray paint dust that has to be washed off thoroughly before using. It can be used by several girls at different meets, without the officials ever questioning its weight or size. Lastly, it has a silver coating that comes off on your hands, maybe it's a rust inhibitor.

Why We Like This:

Great for just throwing up in the air and catching for upper body cardio
Showing no signs of wear or rust
Paint rubs off on hands easily

Best for practice: CHAMPRO indoor Shot

Buy on Amazon

The champro indoor shot is capable of outshining several other shot featured in this list in overall features for the price point. These Champro shot puts are perfect for practice and competition. It is made of cast iron and symterically balanced to create a shot of quality and optimal performance. It's round, it's heavy. The paint comes off very quickly and then you are left with a rusty shot, which makes your hands messy, and then everything gets rusty smudges on them.

The blue paint chips off easily during regular use, but otherwise it fulfills it's goals of being a heavy thing that gets thrown. It is perfect for practice and competition with a range of weights/sizes available to meet the needs of all age groups.
