Is it good for throwing

Yes. Light and compact. Note that not easy to sharp angle on sharpening stone.

Interesting question. Very compact and dense would make for rapid rotation. Might be hard to land the blade, but would certainly leave a mark.

it's not designed for throwing made of plastic. I dropped ours into a dollar store fuzzy sock and tied a knot in it to keep it quiet on our wood floors so our Standard Poodle could play at will

I have never tried throwing it, but just based on the weight distribution and design, I'd say it probably wouldn't be very good.

It is pretty durable, but remember it is foam and not for aggressive play. Also, it seems to fly through the air better when thrown backwards. Bottom line, can't go wrong for the money.

I'm do not throw knives, but I would think not. First off, it is not a fixed blade so the distribution of weight is not ideal. The blade is long, but is much lighter than the wood and metal on the handle. Throwing this knife may result in a bent or broken blade due to its length. I see this knife more as a novelty for the collector. It's big and fun to play with, but not much practical use. Hope this helps.

No i would not recommend throwing while you have this on your back. or any bag for that matter.

Well, I guess you could...but it is more for slashing and hacking than throwing. If that is what you would do to a threat, I suggest getting throwing knives or a small hatchet.

Probably if you laid it side ways . In any event, it is a beautiful kind if heavy throw. We loved it so much, we bought 2 of them.

Yes, with practice. I learned to throw no-spin, so it was a little easier but it does NOT throw like a knife, so there's some adjustments. My only complaint isn't really a complaint, but an observation. When this this thing hits on it's side, instead of a point, it can rebound with incredible energy and distance, so beware. Also, you might want to paint it a bright color; it can bury itself in dirt, grass etc. quite effectively.

Yes depending on the type of wood you throw it on. Soft or worn out woods would be best.

Yes! I've used it out doors and have very impressed with the throw and battery life.

Hi, I used the Champion pitch-back a few times in the park to practice my throws. It is a sturdy structure and the netting is tough. If you can throw accurately this pitch-back is pretty good and it does have a wide target. I have a wild arm so I did a lot of chasing after balls. When I did hit the target, the rebound was good. If you buy this, the main thing I recommend is to use good sized tent stakes to anchor it down. The stakes it comes with don't work that well.

I think it is not best. It is designed for target practice when throwing a ball. b

Yes, but the product isn't worth it. The blades will break on the first throw.

No, It makes for a good throwing knife but it rust really easily. It's very well balanced for throwing.

I bought it for my grandson and he uses it but I don't know if it will throw a breaking pitch. I'll see what I can find out.

Yes. We use it to hit baseballs off the tee, but softballs would work the same.
