Are the newer version of the JFIT ball really constructed better? I am debating of getting this or one from Dynamax unfortunately they are much higher

I love my JFIT ball. I've used it mostly in a garage so it has been slammed against the concrete floor without the typical gym padding, and the unfinished drywall. Even smacked the garage door runners/spring a couple of times-- stupid garage--and it looks like brand new. Dynamax is an excellent brand, but I'm happy with the 25lb one from jfit. Hope that helps.

The Dynamax balls are definitely better. The JFIT ball is slicker and not quite as rugged. If you are using it alone in your garage it would be fine. Heavy use in a box i doubt they would hold up like a Dynamax

the J/fit ball that I ordered is constructed very very well. The dynamax ball was a lot more money, that's why i chose this one and i've been very happy.

Mine is very well constructed, and the place I used to work out before I started working out at home, had JFIT balls and they got a LOT of use. They were also in terrific condition.

I would say if you are going to have big strong people using the balls go with Dynamax.

The new material of the j/fit Medicine Ball Max is almost an exact copy of the dynamax balls. I've used both brands and now personally own 4 of the j/fit ones...10-15-20&30# balls.

I've had both the regular style and the newer ball style. I find the ball easier to maneuver.

I got mine on ebay and also got a smaller ball. I'm hoping the answers are correct and it will stretch out. I know the ball I already had seems a lot thinner than this one. So maybe that's why.

I have had mine for 4 months and have had NO problems..It sound like you need to add a lot more air to your ball.

From what I read before the motor is stronger in the Elite. The description for the Elite also says this: "New, 2x more powerful motor than original Yonanas". I haven't had an issue with the motor on the regular Yonana so I don't know if it's worth spending the extra money.

I had trouble w/the one I bought long ago. The bean shaped ball can be replaced at local shops like Gart or Big 5 sports in our area. I gave it away long ago since it required too much jumping for my knee conditions. I don't know if anything else broke or not but I had read quite a bit of negative feedback. Mostly HE is annoying. I prefer Denise Austin or the 5 mi walking CD's. Stairs are cheaper workouts!

I am not sure where the mix reviews are coming from. I weight about 200lbs and use this ball daily, several hours a day. I sit up hard, stretch, bounce, and have never felt that ball was not performing the way it should. As a matter of fact, I am surprised it has held air as long as it has with all the daily abuse. This has been an excellent product for me. Further more, when you buy this ball and use it for a couple of months, leave an honest comment and call the company and in return for your honest feedback they will mail you a resistance band of your choice for free.

This ball is better but no one ball is not durable like evolution ! I try so much ball but you must know something , if you want good ball with great grip and soft touch feeling , this ball is not durable for indoor play . The original NBA Spalding game ball is probably the best but it is not durable .

Not 100% sure of the compression but I do know that the Pro V1 is recommended for those who have a swing speed greater than 100 mph. My swing matches those characteristics and I too love the softness and distance of the ball. I really like a ball that will check up on a green and the Pro V1 does this with almost every shot. Have recently discovered the Srixon XV which is very similar to the Pro V1 and slightly cheaper in price. Hope this helps.

I've owned my Cellerciser for years now. So obviously I don't have a "2014" model, but at the time of purchase I remember wondering if Amazon was selling the "latest" model. So I called the Cellerciser company with my concerns. They assured me that there was no reason to be concerrned that Amazon might be selling "old" models. I haven't heard anything about a "new and improved" 2014 model. But my sister just purchased a Cellerciser last month, directly from the Cellerciser company. If there is a new model out there, they should be selling it. I can tell you that my sister's rebounder looks exactly the same as mine. When I used hers, the mat felt slightly firmer than mine when I was standing still, but when bouncing it felt exactly the same as mine. Iuse my Cellersiser daily so that might account for the difference in the feel of the mat. New or old you can't go wrong with a Cellerciser I've never had an issue with mine, and I still love it.

Yep, just make sure you get the U-Series ball because it doesn't have the shiny finish on it. These balls are easier to break in (still 6 to 9 months of heavy use).

I have both basketballs, but prefer the baden elite. It has a great grip that allows for great handles. In addition, with so many wilson evolutions in the gym. Its a lot easier to spot the Baden elite ball.

This is a little old but it may help others - like it did for me - researching BOSU balls - http://questions.askthetrainer.com/which-bosu-model-to-buy.html

I am 5'10 so the 75" ball is great for me but I use it for my workouts. I agree with Linda, see if you can check it out before buying. If you belong to a gym, they should have some there but they may not be as firm as you need them due to repeated usage.

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!

As I understand it, not the same ball NBA plays, though your cost is due to it being a true leather ball with the specs of NBA. I've never played with a true NBA ball, so can't tell you the difference, but there are many reviews by those who have a good idea. Search the ones that gave the ball the lowest ratings, and you will find the answers to that question.
