The video shows the ball with no bounce whatever for floor slams. I'm wondering if this ball lacks the bit of bounce you'd get with a Dynomax?

I haven't had any issues with bounce. I used it for bounces off of a wall for reps and it performed as expected. I am very pleased with this ball and I would/will buy another one.

Correct, there is no bounce to this ball. I prefer it though. I like the soft, sandy feel.

The Spalding is hollow and bounces higher than any ball you have seen. The pinky does not seem to be hollow. It is heavier and very hard to squeeze. The Spaldine as we called it was the only ball we played with as a kid.

I can't see mine vibrate but you can feel it. My son absolutely loves it. So glad I got that one. I couldn't believe how cute, and how great it works for being the most affordable bouncer. Way better then my daughters.

I am not exactly sure what your question is. My cats don't care about the bounce factor when they are batting them around and chasing them or carrying them to another room in their teeth. I never noticed a lack of bounce, they're a bit spongey to bounce much aren't they? Susan

The bolo balls are somewhat soft, but they bounce well. The Miranda steel version of ladder golf is the best that I have seen.It is top quality all the way!

I think this ball would meet your needs. On a hard service it would bounce better than a basketball. This is a versatile product that can be used in many different sports.

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!

My nine year old will be able to use this until she gets bored of it, even I can bounce on it well. The only thing I would change is the knobby part. It kind of hurts to bounce on, I would recommend finding a smooth version of this ball.

No, it is not similar to a bounce house in any way. The crash mat is more of a "sinking"...it absorbs the "crash" when you jump or pounce on to it. There is no bouncing qualities with this product. But it is a wonderful product for it's intended purpose.

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.

The product itself is not inherently noisy. However when you bounce there is a slight movement when you jump the legs do hit the ground a tad... probably not nearly as noisy as if you were to just jump on the bare floor, but I can't imagine it wouldn't create a bit of rhythmic bouncing noise for the folks underneath you. The top & side apartments it would be the noise coming from your 'Bouncing DVD' that would be more noticeable!! Certainly not from the rebounder itself! It folds in half, not easily, but certainly doable, and would slide under a bed, or sit up flat against a wall nicely.

Good question. I really don't like this device, but the short answer is....it might. It's just annoying. As I said the review, the balls get stuck in the shoot and they don't really come out in a predictable rhythm. Of course that's fine, since the idea is to stride and load and be ready for any type or speed of pitch. The ball does drop fast. Feel free to email me if you have more questions.

So as one other said, they don't always hold pressure. But, I think it does most of the time. My tennis balls have enough bounce it has to be. As for life, mine is 6m old and working about the same as when I got it. I did lube with I think some vaseline. Without that it really drags when you put it together. Some say that's the wrong thing to lubricate it with. I'm guessing you can get another o-ring at any good hardware store.

As far as I can tell from using mine you have to hit something. You might be able to fit something other than a real ball but the capture triggers on an impact. When doing practices swings I do occasional hit the ground harder and it triggers. You might be more consistent with that than I am.

I have not had any problems with this. The weight naturally shifts slightly when slammed, but I have not had problems maintaining an even shape. The ball bounces nicely off of the ground and against hard and soft surfaces.

My advice is to send it back. My Bounce back lasted less than a year before the springs started ripping thru their supports. Champion said tough luck. Find a different brand.

I have not experienced any bouncing, especially with the side arm up and secured (with the prop). I have really enjoyed it.
