There was a learning curve but I was improving daily but still had this hunch that this is more a speed, coordination and cardio exercise much like jumping rope where I use a light β€˜speed rope’. So I gave the 17lb to a good friend and bought the 9lb ball. Much better. Speed is increasing, flow between movements is happening, less stress on shoulder joints and it’s all coming together. I love how the ball works your rotational muscles which are often neglected in most weight training exercises. I find 5-10 minutes with the ball is perfect. And it perfectly complements more lower body intensive cardio like rope jumping or cycling. As your mind is occupied with executing and transitioning the movements, it feels more like play than most cardio. The ball is also something I can put in the back of my car for vacation and use almost anywhere. Granted, I am still in the honeymoon phase but I think the suples ball is underrated and should be far more popular. Review: a big investment, but worth it! - You can really notice the high quality of all the entire piece the moment you pull it out of the box. It also comes with two lengths of straps/handles, that I was unaware of and was a nice surprise. I've had a ton of fun adding this into my conditioning routines and working out the right swings and movements etc. I weight 155-160lb, and got the 13lb ball. I can't imagine much use for the lighter option, and much like with kettlebells and mace, I kinda feel like maybe I should have gone higher until I'm actually in the middle of using it. It's a really fantastic addition to any HIIT or crossfit style routines. And a must for any kind of combat sports conditioning. Does exactly what I need, is really enjoyable, and makes sure that when I'm working out in my yard no one tries to come talk to me. ## Features - DURABLE TRAINING CONSTRUCTION – Handcrafted with heavy-duty materials built to withstand frequent use in gyms, wrestling rooms, and home training spaces. - SPORT-SPECIFIC TRAINING TOOL – Designed for wrestlers and combat sport athletes to practice throws, takedowns, and transitional movements in a dynamic training environment. - IMPROVES COORDINATION & TIMING – Supports repetition-based drilling to help athletes refine footwork, positioning, and movement patterns during solo or partner training sessions. - VERSATILE CONDITIONING OPTION – Ideal for incorporating into interval workouts, skill sessions, warm-ups, and strength-focused training routines. - TRUSTED COMBAT-SPORT DESIGN – Developed for athletes seeking a functional training aid that complements wrestling, grappling, and MMA practice. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00NB9BQW8 | | Age Range (Description) | Adult | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Ball Type | Training Ball | | Best Sellers Rank | #328,017 in Sports & Outdoors ( See Top 100 in Sports & Outdoors ) #445 in Exercise Balls | | Brand | Suples | | Brand Name | Suples | | Color | Black | | Construction Type | Molded, Vinyl | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 56 Reviews | | Included Components | Instructional Video Link | | Item Diameter | 12 inches | | Item Type Name | Suples Ball | | Item Weight | 13 pounds | | Manufacturer | Suples Ltd | | Manufacturer Part Number | B00NB9BQW8 | | Material | Vinyl | | Material Type | Vinyl | | Model Number | B00NB9BQW8 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Packs | 1 | | Size | 13lbs | | Sport | Exercise & Fitness | | Sport Type | Exercise & Fitness | | Tennis Ball Duty Rating | Extra Duty | | UPC | 099461424470 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Warranty Description | One-year warranty on all non-leather Suples, Ltd.
