Many of the poor reviews are complaining this is not a medicine ball. Know the difference!
This is a decent slam ball, this is NOT a medicine ball which is a completely deferent piece of equipment and many of these bad reviews sound like they thought they were buying a medicine ball. They clearly do not know the difference. This is a great value purchase. It bounces a little more than higher end brands, this could be because it is new, but time will tell. I am not a big fan of the ridges and prefer the smooth outer shell like you see in Crossfit gyms from Rogue, ETE etc., but with the COVID-19 crisis this is the only option I could get delivered in less than 2 months. This design is a copy of the TRX version and maybe the ridges are the same on the TRX, but I find this actually slips out of my hand easier than the smooth designs. I also think this outer shell is thicker than the name brands which seems to make it bounce more and not let the sand absorb the blow. I’ve only used this once so far and hopefully with more use it will loosen up and have less bounce. Overall for the money this is a good value at $20 less than name brands. This is not a good medicine ball because it is NOT a medicine ball. Anyone that complains about the sand and off balance it causes clearly doesn’t know what a slam ball is and should probably try buying a medicine ball.
