Rules about Hammer
A hammer consists of the following three parts: Metal head, Wire, and Grip.
The head of the hammer should be made up of solid material like iron and it should be spherical in shape. The diameter should be 110 mm for men and 95 mm for women.
Filling is allowed and should be done in such a manner that it will be immovable and the centre of gravity will not be more than 6 mm from the centre of the sphere.
Wire that is going to be used over here will be single and unbroken type having a minimum diameter of 3mm. It should not stretch more while being in air. The wire can be lobbed to the either ends of the hammer.
Construction of the grip can be either single or double loop type but it should be rigid and should not have any hinging joints at both the sides.
The grip should be attached to the wire in such a manner that it cannot be turned within the loop of the wire.
Measurement of the hammer should be done from the inside of the grip.
To ensure the safety of the spectators, the performance should be carried out inside an empty cage.
5 Rules of Hammer Throw:
1. Before the start of throwing or swinging, one can put his hammer inside or outside the marked circle.
2. If the hammer's head touches any bit of ground after play has begun, it'll be considered a foul.
3. If the hammer breaks while it is in the air, and has touched no part of the ground, it'll not be considered as foul.
4. The hammer measurement should be taken from the interior of the grip.
5. It is often conducted in a cage to ensure safety.
