Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I'm amazed to find this on AmazonBasics. It's a freakin' cast iron ball with a handle, so why is it $60 or $80 on specialty sites? Perhaps those really are worth the extra $$, but I'm just an old lady (age 56) wanting to work out at home and not interested in competitions, nor do I care what color this is. The handle is easy to grip with plenty of room for a two-handed hold (glove size medium, or large in women's). There's no annoying seam and the handle isn't slippery, although you might want to use chalk during longer workouts. The small bell size makes it easy to manipulate, and it stays standing up when you put it down. I chose the 15 lb weight as a starter, and it's plenty heavy enough for me. I do find that I probably could use more weight for kettlebell swings and less for upper arm exercises, but the 15 lb is a decent compromise and does the job.
