This product is great and so far I had no problem with it all but I got a letter through the mail that said something about this product being recalled because if you inflate it too much it can explode and cause some injuries.

Maybe they have fixed this problem now cause I got it awhile back.
So other than that problem, this product is good.

It is smaller than I'd imagine. (A little bigger than a baseball and smaller than a basketball.)

a squishy ball filled with sand. you can pump it up with more air. it's got a nice rubbery feel, nice and sticky/tacky for grip. nothing to it. gets the job done.

If your looking for a weight ball this ones great. Its easy to grip and small enough to store away when not using.

The Valeo weighted ball is both pliable and durable. I fell in love with it instantly!

Beware for wood furniture,
I have several of these and they are very good for getting a little exercise. It's best to avoid putting them down on a varnished surface. I'm not sure on the science on why it happens, but these can damage the clear coat on wood furniture. I haven't had any trouble with laminated furniture, carpet, or anything else I've set them down on. Leaving one of these on a table for a few days was enough to take up the varnish in a roughly two inch circle the ball was sitting on.

I shouldn't be that disappointed since I probably didn't read the description closely enough, but it was much smaller than I expected. Other wise it is as advertised. Anyway, my wife seems to like it fine!

This is the best size ball for situps. I recommend this ball and 1 size bigger, the 8 for stretching. Great buy.

This ball is a smaller cousin of the medicine ball. It's softball-sized, rather than basketball-sized. Its size and weight are great. Its texture leaves a lot to be desired. The shell is *very* smooth. If your hands sweat at all, holding the ball for medium-speed and high-speed motions is going to be dicey. As long as its use is restricted to slow motions, it's O.K. Ideally, the ball would have more of an orange-peel surface like basketballs and Valeo's medicine balls have. Having a rough surface would make this O.K. product into a great product.

Very good product. Just the right size for our use during exercises. HS baseball team using these during our core exercise routine. Very affordable and recommend this as an inexpensive alternative to the larger med balls.

I purchased this ball as an inexpensive (and more easily packable) alternative to a medicine ball. It works great for my exercise program.
Because it is slightly soft, it's easy to grip one handed, or you can inflate it if you like more of a medicine ball-like feel. No regrets!
