Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a medicine ball and a slam ball?
Our medicine balls, while extremely durable and designed to withstand impacts, are not intended for repeated heavy hits or ‘slams.’ Unlike a slam ball, they are not designed to be thrown hard at the ground from head height
How heavy should my medicine ball be?
Part of choosing the right medicine ball includes choosing the right weight. If you’re a beginner or looking to perfect the accuracy of your drills, a lighter weight (4-10lb) is perfect). However, if you’re a more experienced athlete who wants to take their strength training to the next level, a ball that weighs more than 16lb is a good bet.
Are 8lb medicine balls heavy enough to be effective?
Yes, absolutely. Many professional athletes use these balls to improve their speed, agility and technique.
