SPRI Xerball Medicine Ball Thick Walled Durable Construction with Textured Surface (Available in 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 18, 20, 25, 30 Pounds)

SPRI's medicine balls are awesome. We picked this 4-pounder up after a good experience with their 2-pounder. It has a nice grip and is very evenly weighted, making it great for workouts. It has some bounce, but as long as you do not add extra air, it is nothing like, say, a basketball. We do smashes and on a soft surface and it bounces back up about chest high, making for an easy retrieval. When our little leaguer is ready for a 6-pounder, it will be an SPRI again. My only complaint is that it is latex and is a bit stinky out of the box. Nothing terrible, but you might want to air it out in the garage for a bit before using, and even then, in the first few uses you will notice a slight residue and smell on your hands. That seems typical for medicine balls and goes away after a few uses. But, don't let that scare you away, it really is not a big deal and you will be pleased in the long-term.

The purchased the 2lb ball and it’s perfect for my son’s needs. It’s about the same size as a basketball or soccer ball so we use it to strengthen his shooting in basketball and his throw ins for soccer. 2lbs is about double the weight of the basketball and soccer ball and it’s made a huge difference in him developing longer shots and throws. The ball seems to be very durable and has a rigid/good grip. I highly recommend it for youth players in developing strength for basketball and soccer.

SPRI is usually reliable but this particular medball cracked within 4 months of purchasing. I never used it on anything harder then grass, so it baffles me how it would crack. Unfortunately they only have a 90 limited warranty. My other medball is Nike brand and I’ve had it for 9 years. It’s still going strong.

I got a set of 2-12 to replace my old beat up spri medicine balls (exact same balls). I thought the old balls were damaged from use but apparently they are made like that for some reason. Cracks and scratches all over the outside. It's hard to see in the pics but the spri being one of the more expensive brands, I really expected better quality. They didn't even bother to make the paint line up in a few places. The surface scratches may be a result of packaging but the paint not lining up with the grooves on the ball is ugly and looks very cheap!The balls are very much usable but with the price on them, I expected something I knew would hold up against workouts but surface scratches and sloppy paint jobs leaves me skeptical of their quality and how long they will last. Their presentation is not up to par for the price they're asking, double the price of other medicine balls.Scratches and misaligned paint in the pics was spotted as soon as they were removed from the boxes, so there's no chance that it happened during use. The page said they were new, they don't appear used so I'm assuming these are all manufacturing flaws.

There are many medicine balls on the market, and I've used my fair share. The SPIRI Xerball is in my opinion the best, most versatile ball out there. It's durable, weather resistant, and easy to clean. I have purchased most of the available weight options and have been pleased with every single one. The SPIRI Xerballs are my favorite, and most used piece of fitness equipment I own.

There are less expensive and more expensive balls to consider. As one who is serious about exercise, I considered the more expensive for better quality and durability, but after working with SPRI balls I discovered they have the utmost quality for the price. I use my SPRI balls almost every day before my weight training - they're different, they're fun, and they improve my focus. I highly recommend the use of medicine balls in your exercise program and SPRI balls will not disappoint in quality, feel, and enjoyment.

This is used a couple times a week by a 75 year old lady. After just 6 months the ball split open! If used by anyone actually fit would probably not last a month.

Great sturdy ball. I've only just got it so I can't personally say how it will wear. However these are exactly the same ones my gym uses and they are holding up very well after years of use. I am recently temporarily home confined and can't get to the gym. I can do all kinds of exercises with this ball. Plus it came already blown up. Which I wasn't sure if it did, since I had read some other brands hadn't. Thankfully I have amazon prime since I can't get out and go shopping.

Good medicine ball. Not too heavy and bought as a gift for a friend

Product fell apart less than 2 weeks later after using it 3 times/week. Had to purchase another one from different manufacturer from a retail shop. 😞

Product very well made and is perfect to include in many drills to strengthen different parts of the body to perform actual playing activities at a higher level.
