The FinnFlier possesses the shaft length which allows the safe plastic point to sit by the head in the same way a Javelin does as well as offering a soft flex rating and a safe, plastic tapered tail. Given that it is made in Finland (the home of Javelin Throwing), ensures that you truly are benefitting from years of Javelin success, research and passion all encapsulated in one fantastic product. The FinnFlier is the only safe Javelin on the market today that really does fly like a Javelin.
