Overview
A 6 pound weighted medicine ball in firm rubber with a textured grip, 7.6 inches in diameter, built to bounce off hard surfaces for core and full body training.
This is a rigid ball rather than a body conforming one, so it behaves more like a dense, grippy sphere than the softer slam style medicine balls some buyers compare it to.
- 7.6 inch diameter for a compact grip
- Weight marked on both sides of the ball
- Firm rubber shell designed to bounce
- Textured surface for sweat resistant grip
Who it's for
Suits anyone wanting a compact, low cost ball for classic medicine ball drills like tosses, twists, and squats, including light rehab work mentioned by one reviewer recovering from back issues. Less suited to people who want a ball that won't bounce at all, since the firm rubber shell does bounce off hard floors.
Pros and cons
- Textured surface grips well during tosses and twists
- Firm rubber shell holds up to repeated use
- Compact 7.6 inch diameter suits small spaces
- Weight labeled clearly on both sides
- New rubber smell noticeable to some buyers at first
- Bounces off hard floors, unlike sand filled slam balls
Performance notes
The firm rubber shell is dense enough to bounce predictably off hard surfaces rather than deforming on impact, which is what makes it usable for tossed drills as well as static holds. The lightly textured surface is what keeps grip reliable through sweaty hands during squats or sit ups.
