Champion Sports Exercise Medicine Balls, 6-7 lbs, Leather with No-Slip Grip

Excellent quality perfect for 200 lb person in power training or for more of a challenge a person between 100 and 200 lb in power training. Not meant for someone under 100 lb my opinion as a PES and CPT as that is >10% body weight. Can also be used for balance training and strength and endurance training. Throw back and forth with a friend if you can do so safely. You may need to do strength training before so if it is too difficult.

Great value and high quality. I hated going to the local gym and waiting to do Russian twists. Know I can exercise my core at home!

Was great for my son working out!

For home use, I prefer this soft, "leather" ball to a hard, rubber ball like the Valeo. (BTW, the Valeo is a high quality ball in it's own right.) I currently own the 14-15 and 11-12 lb versions.This ball has a smooth, slightly slippery cover and a soft core so there is some give to it when you grab it or drop it. The core feels like sand. These characteristics make it easier on your hands if you are playing catch with a partner. It is less likely to irritate your skin or jam your fingers. If you accidentally drop it on your foot, you won't be writhing in pain. If the ball bangs into some furniture, it is less likely to break something. For all these reasons, it is more comfortable and enjoyable to use this ball around the house compared to a hard, rubber one.The diameter of my 14-15 lb ball is 12" which is larger than a basketball or the Valeo 10lb. The diameter of my 11-12 lb ball is 9" which is about as big as a basketball.My main complaint is that my 14-15 lb ball weighed in at about 13 lbs. I find it a bit ridiculous that the weight was so far off. My 11-12 lb ball weighed in at 11 lbs so that was accurate.I can't comment on the durability yet but will update this in the future.

Reminds me of how they used to make things. Not that cheap Walmart quality we are all used to now

I purchased this medicine ball to add to my growing home gym. I know Champion is a quality company and I saw the price of the 9/10lb 2 KG ball and couldn’t pass it up. Plus this was an actual medicine ball not a slam ball, I wanted a real old school medicine ball, this one is that. At first when i unboxed it, and took off the plastic I felt a bunch of sand and got worried. That is completely normal. The ball was in perfect condition and felt exactly the way I wanted it to feel. I’ve already used it twice and it’s perfect. Good quality, no odd smells, great feel when you are holding it. Perfectly sized and weight too. It will definitely last! I couldn’t be happier with my purchase. For the price you can’t beat this ball. Some other sellers were offering cheaper priced slam balls and then they would say medicine ball in the description so it’s confusing. This is a medicine ball, made of leather and you can’t feel anything shaking around inside it’s great. It came next day as promised so shipping was on point. I will definitely be purchasing a heavier version of this same ball to add to my gym in the next month or so. Thanks for being exactly like described and still making the quality we all care about! I appreciate that. I definitely recommend this medicine ball 💯!

Product used for physical therapy.

Firsy, these are not bouncers so we can't compare them to that style. Second, look at the price. Third, I am by no means a workout warrior, or even adjacent to a workout warrior.I bought one of each weight so I would have all the variety I would need depending on what I was doing. They seem solid with a little give for gripping. I saw reviews saying they are slick which I suppose is true to an extent, but I think that is only in comparison to these expensive other options. Whether or not is has less give than others, it still requires grip to catch and handle, and weight is weight.I can see where people say they tend to get a slight flat spot or not quite centered so they roll to a particular side when set down. But this is so minor it doesn't take away from the usability. It's not like a tomato with a slice out of it. And you won't be spinning it at high RPM to test it's center of gravity. It's tossing, throwing, grabbing and whatever. It's so slight and such a non-issue for me at least.Bottom line, for the average person these are a great value. After comparing the prices to other options, there is no way I have any regrets about getting these. For medicine ball aficionados I'm sure they are subpar. But for this guy and at these prices they were a steal.

Indispensable para la rutina

I like the leather medicine ball as it is comfortable on the hands and appears to be durable. The 6-7 lb weight is perfect for me and the size and grip of the ball is ideal. I would recommend this product.

This is a good medicine ball for the price. Good quality leather and appears well stitched. I use it for core work primarily and it works great. I have the 15 lb. version and it is a good size. If you have smaller hands it might be harder to get a hold of. This is not meant to be a slam type of ball but if you want a more traditional type medicine ball for core work,etc. then this ball does the job at a reasonable price.

Es de muy buena calidad, ya llevo un tiempo usándolo y esta perfecto.

Really great quality, my first thought when I took it out of the box was, oh yeah, this is going to last a lifetime.I have not had a medicine ball before, but after taking a good amount of time comparing with rubber or plastic, or whatever all the others were, I just felt confident that leather would be a lot better, and I am glad I made this choice.A doctor on youtube showed ways of using it to relieve trigger points etc. on the adductor muscles, which is what made me decide to get it, but I will find other exercises for it I'm sure.
