Hard vs. Soft rebounder: Does anyone know the difference between hard bounce and soft bounce and the pros and cons of each?

From what I understand after doing research, the soft bounce is for people under 300 lbs and the hard bounce is for people over 300 lbs.

I can't speak for the cheaper Urban rebounder; I purchased my Rebound Air model back in Feb 2012 and have been very pleased with it. My daughter uses it more often than I do now-a-days, however when I do get on it and perform rebound work on my recovery workout days, I haven't noticed any "rebound weakening" aka worn-out springs over the past 21 months of usage.Good luck with your decision!

Definitely not a rebounder type product and I'm not sure of any on the market. This is a solid mobile goal for the kids though!

I would say "just right." It feels the most like a big trampoline of the small ones I've tried. I've had my rebounder for about two years and still use it all the time. I love it.

I think its mainly for resistance exercises. No bounce to it at all. Kinda like a big hackee-sack or beanbag.Hard throws or slams would most likely shorten the life span of the med ball.

Hi Angela, the only different is you don't really bounce back up if that makes sense. It has like huge firm foam pieces inside so its good for kids to run and fall or jump onto without getting hurt, but not good if you are looking for it to be like a trampoline. It's more like just falling onto or rolling around on. Hope that helps, my son has Autism and he loves just running and falling onto it or jumping on top of it.

You are right -- there is only one pin placement. To get different types of rebounds, you throw at different locations -- bottom for low liners, middle for popups, outside for change of direction.

Dunking is just fine. I weigh 210 pounds and played ball, so could really throw down in the day. I personally would not hang on the rim. Its not good on a pro gym one and I strongly feel if you hang on this one you have a great chance of bringing the whole system down on you depending how much weight you have hanging on it, and secondly, the rubber washers that protect the glass from the collapsible springs would get so compressed that the springs would probably shatter the whole backboard. It would look cool....only once. Hope that helps.

I'm nit sure what you are referring to with "jumpboard/rebounder". It has built in resistant bands to add extra fitness development.

I don't know how Frisbees compare, but here's my experience: Not particularly soft, but disc is slightly flexible/bendy if I recall. It feels sleek, but the rim definitely has some height to it. And might not want to use on anything but grass/soft surface. By using on driveway, outer edge plastic got kinda rough. To be expected I guess... Didn't hurt to throw however.

The bounce on any outdoor table will be duller than a bounce on an indoor table. The Cornilleau line of tables has tops that get thicker as you increase in price. You have a 4mm surface on the Sport One, a 5mm surface on the Sport 250 plus you have a Softmat finish on the top, there is a 6mm surface on the 400 with a Mattop finish and a 7mm surface with a Mattop finish on the 500M . The Mattop finish will reduce glare and the skid of the ball more than the Softmat finish. The Sport One has no additional finish. The thicker your top the better the bounce will be. Generally people playing for recreation and they do not play on a good quality indoor table will opt for the 250S or the 400M. If you are competitive at all, are used to playing on a good quality indoor surface or want a table with the closest bounce to a good quality indoor table you will want the 500M. Please let us know if you have additional needs. Have a good night, Darlene Cornilleau USA 3780 Rippleton Road, Route 13 South Cazenovia, NY 13035 888-647-2778 Toll-Free 315-655-2033 Fax

The Spalding High-Bounce is exactly as advertised - a high-bouncing ball! :) It is about the size of a racquetball (just a hair bigger). If you drop the ball and bounce it (using very little force), it will bounce back to about waist level, allowing you to catch it easily. As you increase the force of the bounce, you will get a higher response (the rule of physics applies very well here - Action / Reaction). Hope this helps!

Depend on how you're going to use it. Kids? Adults? Daily? Every once in a while? 10 minute sessions? 30 minute sessions? The more use, the more you need a sturdier model. I bought this one to replace the one that we had bought 15 yrs ago that had begun to wear where the fabric attached to the clips that hold it to the frame. Ours ReboundAir Standard that we have now is used by 2 adults who weigh 160-175 lbs each. Used by at least one of us daily. Still looks & as good as it did when we took it out of the box 2 yrs ago; feels like it has the same amount of bounce, too. From what I can tell at this point, it looks as if it will perform as well as the previous one did. Depend on how you're going to use it. Kids? Adults? Daily?

I am assuming but don't see the $99 lax wall, that the difference is the automatic ball return. It is extremely useful. I find it to be a nuisance to retrieve balls after they have been shot into the holes, especially since the "WALL" is designed not to penetrate.

I believe it is weight limits. My previous trampoline buckled under the pressure of.my girth. How was I supposed to lose if I couldn't jump? The pro series alleviated ALL of my concerns. It is a joy to bounce on.

We use volleyballs. Regular basketballs are too heavy. They also hurt a lot if getting hit by one in pool ball. Regular ones could also damage the backboard?

Really it comes down to preference. The "waves" press into you as you use it - sort of making you feel like you maybe work a little bit harder because your abs press back. But really after using it all last year I don't think there's much of a difference between a regular weighted hula. Like I said, it's mainly preference.
