FTC Meteor Throw Weight
Available in 5 Sizes
The FTC Meteor 2 is a throw weight with a very innovative design. It uses a metal piece covered with polymer to provide a much longer lifespan than fabric bags. You will wear out before it does! They are made up of a metallic core and a polymer shell with 2 densities. The drop shape gives them a great precision and dynamism, with a very high strength for a powerful throw and a much longer lifespan than with fabric bags.
The FTC Meteor 2 contains no lead which means no more lead balls spread in nature by a damaged throwbag. The compact, streamline shape helps manipulating the bag in the tree. It is easily spotted as well, with the high visibility colours and “checkered effect”. The profile of the ring and its oblong section help fixing the line and prevents it from slipping.
Core: Steel
Shell: Bi-density polyurethane
Ring: Stainless steel
Height without ring: 8.3 cm high (3.3 inches)
Diameter: 4.6 cm (1.8 inches)
Ring MBS: 250 kg (551 lbs)
The FTC Meteor 2 is equipped with a ring, with the insertion slightly lower than the tip - which lowers the rotation axis. When the throwline is pulled, the bag actually tips over around the axis and is easily pulled out of crotches. All the field tests showed a great ease to manage through tight crotch.
They are very dynamic and accurate, which means that they shoot very fast and depending on the rebounds they can come back fast as well. As with all throwbags, it is recommended to use PPE (helmet, glasses and gloves). It is also essential not to try to catch a throwbag after it has been thrown.
The FTC Meteor 2 is faster and more efficient than the traditional fabric bags. To compensate, it is possible to use the weight under the one usually used in textile.
The bags have an aerodynamic shape and do not vibrate in flight, which means that even on a windy day they will not deviate from their initial course. The aerodynamic design also helps saving energy and to reach greater heights with a lesser effort.
