The title says this is a stability ball, but the description does not mention that. Is this ball weighted with sand so that it doesn't roll away?

No not at all. That's not the purpose of this exercise ball. It is only filled with air. The idea behind it is that you balance yourself on it to find your perfect balancing point. This would be where your best posture and core development is. It is a great tool for toning your butt and core. I am 5'2 ½" and this ball is perfect height for me at a desk or table doing computer work. So the term "Stability Ball" generally means attaining your personal stability, excercise and development wise. Hope this helps. If any more questions, please ask!

No this ball is not weighted by sand. You would have to buy a stand to put it on. It will roll away.

No it is not. The Ram Ball is made out of rubber and yours is hard plastic. Even if they were the same size yours would move around under vibrations.

Yes, it is. I bought one bag of sand at Walmart and it was enough to fill it. That gives it the weight to not blow over. God bless.

No I don't recall but the ball arrives defalted so it could be much weight at all.

If sand is soft, nothing rolls well in it! I live in Hawaii :) But it is small enough to carry a short distance if you are capable.

It is actually like a standard basketball - rubber. It's not foamy at all and makes a good amount of noise when bounced on linoleum. You could purchase a foam ball to use in place of the included ball. My son uses a variety of different balls.

I would have to say no. I would describe the feeling as a smaller bowling ball wrapped in a one-inch layer of sand; and then one or two layers of leather. It's easy on the hands when tossed to you because the layers of sand and leather absorb the hard impact very well. Of course, it is that same impact-absorbing action that will cause the ball to drop to the ground upon impact with a wall. It has no bounce. Note: I did not test this as I don't have a good wall to test without fear of damaging it. If there were to be any bounce, I have to assume it's going to be very little.

It is but it is heavier than a tennis ball. It will not work on hard surfaces, even semi frozen turf. The ball will turn off when it hits the ground it thrown to high.

It is stable, but it will move when the ball hits it unless you have someone put their foot on the crossbar to keep it from moving.

No, there is nothing to weigh it down. However, it is a little heavier material than other balance balls I have used.

As I recall - and it's been awhile since I purchased it - the ball was partially/mostly inflated. I'm virtually certain it wasn't flat. You'll need to pump in some air from time to time to keep it up to snuff.

It doesn't roll like the Tyson Ball, but it is easy to maneuver and very responsive. It lies flat to get into tight areas like under sofas and beds. This is my second one and I wouldn't buy any other.

I like what Keith said! It is a good weight though a bit bigger than golf ball and as previously stated it is very bouncy! :)

You must tip the cart back and roll only on the back wheels when you hit the sand. Cant compare the other cart as this is the only one I own. Good Luck! Still happy with my purchase.

Yes it is. it is an ordinary beach ball.It has a light mechanism inside of it that turns on when you bounce the ball very hard.The BIGGEST PROBLEM WITH THIS LIGHT is that it doesn't go off if you bounce it again.It doesn't turn off at all until its battery runs out. And then it truly is JUST a beach ball except that the light mechanism is heavy so it will always weight at one point and even just throwing the thing is all wobbly. No good for catch and no good for vollyball in the pool at night, if you were thinking of it.Otherwise it is novel! Good for red white and blue holidays or starry new years.

This is a medium soft foam ball. It is hard enough to bounce but does not hurt if it is thrown softly and hits someone.

No it is not. It is much better. We love it!!! My only recommendation is to buy the bigger one so that you will have more sand to work with. I am going to get the biggest one for Christmas.
