" ... These medicine balls bounce with ease. ... Stable construction and no signs of damage after several uses. ... This ball is constructed well. ... It bounces well and there are no signs of damage after a thorough session of slamming. ... "
" ... I use it for exercise and for rolling out tricky parts of my body that my foam roller can't get. ... "
" ... The ball itself feels just like a rubber basketball, but solid and heavier. ... The ball does not deform under the weight of a 240 lb man nor do I think I’ll ever be able to slam it hard enough to split it. ... "
" ... Good thick qaulity ... "
" ... Fantastic product, great materials, terrific price. ... "
" ... The gripping texture is great for handling the ball quickly. ... "
" ... This 12lb ball is nicely grippy, feels very solid, and is'nt imbalanced or wobbly at all. ... "
" ... I did weigh this guy, and he is a nice solid 11.9 pounds of rubber and assorted heavy stuff. ... It is far more sturdy, although many reviews warn against slamming the ball on the ground. ... "

" ... Great quality of the ball it was lighter than I was expecting it to be so it kinda feels like a little weighted basketball so I wish I would have gotten the weight up but over all great product. ... "
" ... The only possible issue for some people's preference is the grip. ... The 12 pounder is the size and look of a basketball, but too firmly smooth for good grip. ... "
