how do you control the ball?

Hard to explain but I found it worked best when I thought of being very still and calm. You have to experiment.

If thrown just right, you can get a straight path toss. It takes some practice though.

The ball I believe is weighted so if it is touched from any where on the tube it moves. It does stop but moves easily.

Roll the ball different directions over muscles, yours or others. Various pressures can be used but try not to cause pain. Great to roll under tired feet. Also. For self one can lie on it on the floor or against a wall. Avoid soft areas such as inside elbows and wrists, behind knees.

No, of course not. Takes lots of practice time to somewhat control the ball, but it's not a precision mechanism, so don't expect getting a strike100% of the time.

you just move the ball around until it gets underneath the latch. then push the tab and it should open.

There is a small zip-tie included with the reel. Use either that one or one you provide and cinch it tightly below the ball.

Ball out of the box needs to be prepped, there is a kit you can get but just dampen and rub with a towel and then brush with a coarse brush. Helps the ball's grip as well.

I purchased the ball only. What you have to do when you pull it up just click on the ball and it will give you the option for just that.

a little pump comes with it and by hand or foot you pump it up till firm...and you stick the plug that is removable back in it....very easy, completely user friendly....I've used my ball for years and rarely need to add air....it's the most fun exercise at home you can find!

Turn the knob to *lock* the ball head. Then turn it. It is designed to allow rotation while unlocked. Of course, be sure to turn it the right way, or you'll just make it tighter.

First, turn it on using the furthest button to the left. When the "Play Golf/Options" captions come up, hit the "OK/Shot button (second from right). The unit will then start to acquire a satellite, and should bring you up a list of nearby courses. Use the arrow buttons (the up and down buttons in the middle) to move the cursor to the course you want to select, then hit the OK/Shot button again. It should bring you to the course. Use the arrow buttons to move up/down to the hole you need.

Yes, you can dribble and kick the ball. It's lighter than a basketball and so is easier for little kids.

I googled the directions. Each team you play with might have different rules.

The directions state that you are supposed to, however, I did not. The ball felt a little soft, not sure if that was the reason why. Also, I think your first workout with the ball is pumping it up by hand! Hope this helps.

Anywhere that is achy or tight - they are great at relieving tension. I get alot of tension in my shoulders. So I have the ball in the tense place, between me and the wall and roll it around. It also works great just rolled under the feet or between your hands.

Yes, just turn the outside ring around the ball about half a turn and out it comes!
