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.

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.

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!

Its a step up from beginners ' cuz it is a reaction ball, but then u have the more expensive balls.. I would say its for experienced players

Personally, I don`t feel very stable while working out on this twist model, I`d rather have the classic model. I also found that my sports shoes were slipping too, couldn`t clutch onto the surface. For this reason I`ll sell it and get the old model that I had before. I work out regularly in a gym but I bought this appliance because I don`t have time to go the guy as much as I`d like since I can take my kids with me.

Hi, I only have experiencce with the "performance" model. Unfortunately I sold it six months later during a temporary money crunch. I can't advise you on your specific question, but I will say "Damn I wish I had it back!" It was effective in maintaining my form during a time I couldn't work out.

not as spongy as the evolution but not as firm as the TF. I have the Evolution, Solution, and TF-1000 (original version). ive grown to play with the evolution after my TF was beat to death. most people i play with dont like the feeling of the solution. i've heard that it's (1) too grippy, (2) feels rubbery, and/or (3) off in general. personally, i think it is a mix of the TF and evolution and actually enjoy playing with the solution.

Purchased the red 65cm because of its high weight capacity (researched here and elsewhere). I'm very large, nearly 500 lbs. and bounce the hell out of this thing. :) No issues! Owned my first for about a year before accidentally rolling on a nail, have had my second for months. Minimal leakage under great strain. I'm a bottom heavy female, about 5'4" or a little less, and I do have to somewhat roll onto the ball because I'm so short but I make it work.

I believe its the 2006 or 2009 model. The newer design newer ball 2013 cost $129. I am huge on choosing the proper ball because of the tournaments I played in. The quality of this specific ball is great. Its actually my favorite model to buy. I would buy this model and yr 100 mor times. All the best.

I ordered the pro because I'm using it for my personal training studio. Usually with products, price increase and 1 step up from the original should be considered as a better product. Diameter, sturdiness and material make the difference.

When exercising there may be some slipping due to perspiration ( sweating ) which could cause the body to glide along the surface of traditional stability balls. Fitter First PRO balls are texturized to minimize this slippingand in my gym I have had no problems whatsoever with slipping on the Fitter First balls. These are my exercise balls of choice for all my personal training sessions.

To be honest I have no idea but of the different exercise balls we have purchased this is the most rugged.

I'm topping in at about 6 foot, 260 at the moment... and mine lasted exactly 1.8 seconds. For now it's back to an exercise ball, until I order another to try. Lucky, Amazon is good with returns as long as you do it fast.

The main tension nut that secures the ball connection can be tightened securely (in my witness) on the current model design of this bracket. I suspect that the model you own is somewhat different in design to the current version. I think the manufacturer listens to reviews and modifies their spec design to accommodate users' requests. Thats not to say that your version was defective. It was correct for that timeframe. The new model may be improved in the thread areas..

You purchase a ball size based on your particular height and how much weight you need resistance for based on your weight and what you might be lifting if using it with free weights. I read numerous review of cheaper exercise balls that burst on people skimping on the price. I certainly didn't want my 82 year old 6'5" father falling to the floor while doing his exercises.

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.
